Reinventing Healthcare: Singularity University's Exponential Medicine Returns to San Diego October 8-11MOFFETT FIELD, Calif., Sept. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Singularity University (SU) is bringing together over 500 global leaders in technology and healthcare for its sixth annual Exponential Medicine Conference October 8-11, 2016 at the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego, California. The conference will explore the cutting edge of and implications for trends and technologies that are reshaping the way we approach prevention, diagnostics, therapy, global health and beyond. Exponential Medicine is a widely acclaimed interactive four-day program for clinicians, scientists, technologists, healthcare executives, innovators, and investors, interested in exploring the impact and opportunities presented by disruptive technologies in the fields of health and biomedicine. This year's themes explore the convergence of fast moving technologies such as low cost genomics, AI and Big Data, robotics, virtual reality, gene therapy, blockchain, 3D printing and more, and ther implications and potential for reshaping the future of medicine across the healthcare continuum. This convergence is top of mind for both the private and public sectors – the FDA is opening a dialog on the future of regulation and technology that conference attendees can participate in through a special interactive working session at the conference. "The practice of healthcare has traditionally operated in silos, based on old definitions and infrastructures," said Daniel Kraft, MD, Exponential Medicine's chair and curator and faculty chair of the SU's Medicine and Neuroscience Track. "In the new digital, genomic and connected age, we can leverage new cross-disciplinary technologies with potential for dramatic improvements in outcomes and costs. We'll explore this convergence of technologies ranging from cloud-based healthcare data, regenerative medicine, 3D printing, wearable devices to the merging of mobile health with artificial intelligence to make health care more continuous and proactive" In addition to presentations and breakout workshops from world-class faculty such as:
The Innovation Lab will provide attendees with hands-on technology demos from 55 startups pushing the boundaries of medicine, 20 of which are competing for a MEDy, an award given to the companies most exemplifies medical entrepreneurship and disruption. "In the next decade, the biomedical industry is going to be massively disrupted and transformed in ways that we cannot entirely predict right now," said Dr. Peter Diamandis, chairman of the XPRIZE Foundation and co-founder of SU. "Exponential Medicine is brilliantly designed to provide the roadmap to understanding this exponential growth, and San Diego — as a designated iHub Innovation Center for collaboration between technology and the life sciences — is the optimal venue for Exponential Medicine discussions."
