About this program

The 21st century so far has been shaped by the relentless advancement in access to information and novel technology. Specifically, the medical field has been revolutionized by the emergence of innovations that are reshaping the landscape of healthcare for both providers and patients alike. These innovations would serve to not only enhance the accuracy and efficiency of medicine but also to drive the field forward into a more connected, personalized future. The tools now exist, leaving the dissemination of such devices as the next challenge. This would require a collaborative effort to bridge the gap between developers and healthcare professionals.
