Connected Healthcare:
The New Buzzword in Healthcare Presents a $34 Billion Market Opportunity
|
The newly coined phrase "Connected Healthcare" -- and the related concept "Healthcare Unbound" -- refers to communication and medical technology in, on and around the body that enables healthcare professionals to monitor and care for patients outside of the clinical setting. The market for "Connected Healthcare" is estimated "to reach $34 billion by 2015".[1] Join our panel of experts from various segments of healthcare and technology for a discussion of the convergence of communication technology and medical devices and live demonstrations. The panel will focus on the following issues:
- What are the potential cost savings for expensive chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes?
- How can businesses tap into the $1 trillion health and wellness market as baby boomers age? [2]
- Who will pay for "Connected Healthcare"?
- How are businesses positioning themselves to participate and profit in this field?
- Where are the most lucrative venture and investment opportunities?
