The FutureMed Program 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 clinical practice and the biomedical industry.
Dr. Roni Zeiger, Chief Health Strategist at Google, talks about clinical trials radically changing in the next 2-10 years, the need to make knowledge discovery more scalable, and moving beyond practicing medicine that is only evidence based. He also talks about using innovation and having the flexibility to take new data and understand how to incorporate into physician practices.
