the new environment for better health care decisions
DESCRIPTION
Susannah Fox will be the kick-off speaker for a discussion of how data is transforming health and health care at Health 2.0 Silicon Valley. From self-tracking to personalized medicine—consumers are taking their health care into their own hands more and more every day. How can we connect the dots and integrate consumer data into the clinical setting allowing for the best health care decisions possible? What are the obstacles and opportunities for this integration?TRANSCRIPT
