Here's what's on tap for the week of 5/4/15 at TechSpring!
|
Thursday May 14th is a BIG day at TechSpring; focus is on Telehealth. What are the obstacles? How can we overcome them? But first, what is it really? We start 3-5pm with hands-on demonstrations, a TeleHealth Fair. Come try being a patient. Come play doctor!
5pm we start our monthly Tap into TechSpring open house event: sign in and connect with innovators and healthcare professionals, patients, executives, developers, and entrepreneurs, all working to change healthcare as we know it. Also, a good chance to connect with telehealth experts from multiple fields and companies. Ask them about their experience operating telehealth solutions across the country or as far away as India (e.g 10 million patients on Praxify). 6-7pm a handful of presenters will share relevant experience in implementation and adoption of TeleHealth. Notably, Dell experts will share background on their broad activities in TeleHealth, what works, what drives successful TeleHealth, and adoption experiences from other states. 7-8+pm - further networking, discussions; how can we get TeleHealth to be a reality in our area, what will it mean for us as patients, how can we help each other ... PLEASE RSVP! Food and drink will be served. Thank you to Dell, one of the awesome TechSpring sponsors, for helping organize this evening. Sign up to volunteer!
