About FutureMed

Exploring and driving the future of medicine through exponential, game changing technologies.

How will rapidly developing technologies such as low cost genomic sequencing, artificial intelligence, telemedicine, robotics, 24/7 body wearable monitors, smart pills, stem cells, synthetic biology, gene therapy, mobile phone apps and crowd sourced health data affect the future of healthcare and medicine?

 The inaugural FutureMed was held in May, 2011 at Singularity University, with sold out FutureMed programs .  Click here for some summaries and take aways from FutureMed 2011.  For takeaways from FutureMed 2012 click here.

FutureMed will be held at the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego November 3-6, 2013.

FutureMed educates, informs and prepares physicians, innovators, inventors, investors and senior healthcare executives to understand and recognize the opportunities and disruptive influences of exponentially growing technologies within medicine and healthcare, and to understand how many rapidly developing and converging fields affect the future of wellness, prevention, clinical practice and the biomedical industry.

For an overview of FutureMed, watch Executive Director Daniel Kraft, MD’s latest TEDTalk about the Future of Health and Medicine. The FutureMed program will be doing a deep dive into many of the themes and technologies touched upon in this brief talk.
FutureMed brings together  leading thinkers and practitioners who will describe what is in the lab and early clinical trials today and what is likely coming to market in the next 2 to 10 years.  FutureMed focuses on breakthrough development ranging from 3D printing to organ regeneration, from point-of-care lab-on-a-chip diagnostics to large-scale bioinformatics; from synthetic biology to new gene based therapies.  All of these and more are discussed in the context of the current explosions of digital information and distributed healthcare.

Through a series of faculty speakers, panels, hands on experiences, demos and site visits and in-depth, late night discussions,  participants will complete this intensive 3 and half day program with new relationships, business concepts, insights, and opportunities for collaborations that can transform their practice or  company.

Participants will live on-site at NASA and have the opportunity for one-on-one interaction with many of the 60 World Class Faculty.

Spaces are extremely limited. Every FutureMed has sold out in advance. Apply here to participate in the next FutureMed, November 3-6, 2013.
