Duke University is hosting their Third Annual Medical Innovation and Strategies Conference which will focus on Consumer Healthcare & Wireless Technologies

This year’s conference will focus on the increasing use of wireless technologies in both the healthcare and non-healthcare arenas. With the increased focus of increasing the quality of care, reducing costs while simultaneously increasing positive outcomes for the patient and consumer, our distinguished speakers will engage in conversations on how to successfully reach the consumer, provide greater access to quality care through mobile technologies, how Wireless and IT are changing the Care Paradigm, the role of risk and innovation in this arena and the consumer who plays a vital role in this.
