THIRD ANNUAL HEALTHCARE UNBOUND CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION

ABOUT THE THIRD ANNUAL HEALTHCARE UNBOUND CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION
Consumer health care technologies are driving opportunities to serve patients in new ways and in new settings. Forrester Research recently coined the term "Healthcare Unbound" to encompass the trends toward self-care, mobile care, and home care. More specifically, Forrester describes "Healthcare Unbound" as "technology in, on and around the body that frees care from formal institutions."

THE PROGRAM WILL HAVE A STRONG FOCUS ON THE USE OF REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING (RPM) /HOME TELEHEALTH / PERVASIVE COMPUTING TECHNOLOGIES FOR WELLNESS PROMOTION AND DISEASE MANAGEMENT.

Our Second Annual Healthcare Unbound Conference & Exhibition attracted 250 high-level attendees. We expect an even larger turnout at our 2006 event!

In addition to dramatically changing traditional health care delivery, "Healthcare Unbound" attracts a range of companies that previously have not been deeply involved in healthcare including consumer electronics, telecom, and information technology companies.
