There is relatively little talk about how technology influences the quality and cost of healthcare given that it consumes one-sixth of the US GDP. Why does this segment lag in taking advantage of the post web2.0 and totally-mobile world? 

For the past few years healthcare technology companies are emerging hoping to disrupt the existing care-giving modality, prepared to combat the current insane costs and inefficiencies. The advent of PHRs, social network, open platforms, smart phone, personalized medicine, compliance/interoperability, and reform are creating new opportunities. Entrepreneurs and existing providers who innovate will thrive. 

At this monthly meetups we will discuss real-life technology use-cases from hospitals, doctor offices, medical billing, insurance, remote monitoring, health-and-wellness, and various patient-care services. Subject matter experts, users, entrepreneurs, regulators, and providers will address each other's needs and solutions. The objective is to connect entrepreneurs with professionals who are addressing these real-life problems that exist today in the healthcare ecosystem. We will also review how low-cost, scalable, deployable systems can meet or exceeds the needs of 21st century care-giving.
