From Service Line To Enterprise, Leaders To Convene At 11th Annual Telehealth Innovation Forum

"The health care industry is at a pivotal moment in transforming care delivery to better serve patients and to drive smart innovation," said Joseph DeVivo, CEO of InTouch Health. "Wherever an organization is in its utilization of telehealth, we as health care leaders can – and should – learn from each other to propel the vision of a better system forward in a feasible, efficient and effective way. Attending the 11th Annual Telehealth Innovation Forum is a great way to learn from world-leading institutions." 

Registrations for the Forum are still open and accessible online here. The multi-day event will feature keynote addresses from two leading experts in the field – Dr. John Sotos, chief medical officer at Intel Corp. and Yulun Wang, Ph.D., chairman, founder and chief innovation officer at InTouch Health.

A computer scientist specializing in artificial intelligence and a cardiologist who has worked in Silicon Valley for 20 years, Sotos is also an author, a medical technical consultant for television, and a military flight surgeon. He will present "Medicine and Information Technology: The Transformation is Not Yet Done" at the Forum on Tuesday, July 25, at 11:40 a.m. PDT. Wang, an author and inventor whose prior company pioneered surgical robotics, will deliver his address, "Telehealth: A Platform for Physician Innovation?" on Tuesday, July 25, at 4:25 p.m. PDT.

Other panels, breakout discussions and presentations will focus on population health management, surgery in the digital age, telemedicine in rural hospitals, neonatology telehealth services, tackling physician capacity and more.
