Feedback from June 1st Networking Event Focusing on The Life Sciences Convergent Landscape

 

On June 1st, over 80 individuals joined us at Nutter McClennen & Fish, in Boston despite the torrential weather outside, for an enjoyable evening to discuss trends and advances in how life sciences companies develop convergent technologies.  We touched on how information technology is transforming how medical devices, diagnostics, therapeutics, and overall medical information is gathered, developed, and used.  This area includes mobile apps which monitor health parameters, apps which segment user data to evaluate healthcare trends, home monitoring systems which improve patient care and access to medical information, systems which integrate various patient information, and bioinformatics platforms which enable patient stratification and analysis of complex relationships to further enable personalized medicine.   The Healthcare IT sector has tremendous growth potential as well as opportunities  to leverage innovative business models.  To view pictures from the evening, click here:  View Pictures.  We certainly thank our panelists, Karan Singh, Founder, Ginger.io; Dustan Bonnin, CEO, Actualiti; Arshad Ahmed, Founding Partner, Scientia Advisors; David R. Jones, Director, Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs & Philips Business Excellence, Philips Home Monitoring for sharing their insights.
