How Consumer Health Tech Has Failed The Patient
Description:
As the consumer-facing health tech industry exploded over the past decade, medical-grade equipment used in hospitals has failed to reach the same level of innovation. Heavy emphasis on personal wellness takes the responsibility off medical facilities to provide technologically sophisticated care, leaving those without access to expensive consumer health tech behind.
This panel of industry insiders, medical personnel, and investors will discuss the pitfalls of consumer healthtech and how it negatively contributes to health equity.
