Can your insurance company figure out when to send a nurse to your aging parents living far away?  Can a pathologist remotely access their lab results for a second opinion?  Should you be worried someone might hack into their medication delivery pump?  How is big data being used to develop that medication?

Internet of Things is not just for manufacturing floor.  Big data is not just for figuring out what you sell you next.  These are being used to drive your healthcare today.  We invite you to hear what leaders in these fields foresee, what technologies are being used, and being developed to solve these problems.  The opportunities will not only get bigger in size, but expand in complexity as new technologies become available.  Could one be your innovation?
