Annual healthcare conference brings together
experts in artificial intelligence, blockchain, synthetic biology,
robotics, digital health, nanotechnology, 3D printing, virtual
patient care, neuromedicine, virtual reality, big data, and
more
The world’s experts in healthcare, technology, biopharma, and
more will convene for the eighth annual Exponential
Medicine conference (ExponentialMedicine.com), November 4-7 at
the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego. Exponential Medicine is
presented by Singularity University (SU), a global
community with a mission to educate, inspire, and empower leaders
to apply exponential technologies to help solve humanity’s grand
challenges.
Over 70 world-class faculty, innovative startup companies, and
more than 500 selected innovators from every facet of health and
biomedicine will gather for the four-day program to explore and
leverage the convergence of fast-moving technologies in the
reinvention of health and medicine.
Exponential Medicine was founded in 2011 by Dr. Daniel Kraft, a
Stanford- and Harvard-trained physician-scientist, and SU’s Faculty
Chair of Medicine. Dr. Kraft envisioned a high-energy, bold
redesign of the medical conference, crossing silos to foster
impactful healthcare breakthroughs and advancements.
“Exponential Medicine brings together the world’s most
innovative leaders for a deep dive into the cutting edge and future
of medicine, exploring the latest developments of rapidly
developing technologies and their potential to reshape many
elements of prevention, diagnosis, and therapy around the planet,”
Dr. Kraft said. “Insights, connections, and collaborations sparked
at Exponential Medicine have catalyzed many new approaches with
real impact on the world that will become mainstream in the near
future. Participants are challenged to think bigger and encouraged
to explore and build on the latest innovations in convergent
technology.”
Participants learn about and discuss the current and future
implications of evolving and innovative technologies, from
artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and digital health to
regenerative medicine. More than 50 startups will be featured in
the Innovation Lab, enabling hands-on technology demonstrations and
including a startup competition.
