attended the Future of Health Technology

expose me to new ideas and to broaden my
horizons. The small size makes it easy to
engage with like minded individuals from a
cross section of academic and industry
organizations. I strongly recommend it!"

"Like
all technology, health technology can only proceed so far by small
incremental steps; every so often it needs vision, lateral thinking, the
willingness to step back and consider radical new approaches. Renata
Bushko's annual conference and associated books are a tremendous focus
for this crucial long-term thinking."
Aubrey de Grey
Author of "Ending Aging" |
