SXSW Interactive 2014
Radical Healthcare
A handful of issues (like the cost of one's final year of life) account for the majority of total healthcare spending in the US. Any serious attempts to reform healthcare must begin here.
Radical Healthcare attempts to catalyze interest in solving these mega-problems in modern healthcare. We've brought together world-experts in healthcare practice, technology and policy to share their wisdom and foment action.
Radical Healthcare has three goals: (1) identify the Mega-Problems; (2) provide tools for beginning to tackle them; and (3) connect participants with resources to help them succeed.
Our panelists have successfully used these techniques to combat end-of-life, Alzheimer's and diabetes, and they're excited to share their knowledge with you.
