The California Chapter of the American College of Cardiology is pleased to announce Future Innovations: The Promise and Peril of Digital Medicine scheduled for June 10, 2017 at One Market, San Francisco. This upcoming symposium aimed at bringing physicians, cardiovascular experts, and the tech community together to review the latest information on cardiology and the future that will drive the field forward, looking out to 2050 and beyond. This one day tech symposium will provide the opportunity to build partnerships while reviewing the latest developments, advanced methods, and how future cutting-edge technologies will play in treating cardiovascular disease.
When asked about the reasons behind creating this event, the host of the event, Rigved Tadwalkar, MD, Technology Co-Chair of the California Chapter of the American College of Cardiology said: “This upcoming conference will present a unique opportunity to understand the challenges that lie ahead and will provide significant opportunities for cardiologists to partner in shaping the future.” He went on to say, “They will be discussing topics that everyone has been curious about, but haven’t yet had a real opportunity to explore further. By having tech companies, app developers, key opinion leaders, and practicing cardiologists interface, the goal is to inspire change in the way medicine is practiced.”
While still in it’s infancy, they are honored to announce Vic Gundotra, former Google executive and CEO of AliveCor, Inc. will be a guest speaker. AliveCor is the leader in electrocardiogram (ECG) technology for mobile devices cleared by the FDA. Additionally, six areas have been identified to allow industry leaders educate themselves and debate their discipline. These areas include: Artificial Intelligence, Genomics, Remote Monitoring, Translating Data to Practice, Privacy and Data Security, and Wearables.
