Comunicano Speakers & Listeners

Live from WLSA's Convergence Summit 2014

While the event has not yet come to a close I wanted to quickly share some highlights. The well attended event featured 40+ industry speakers - some of the brightest minds in healthcare and technology. Over the span of the 2 days, WLSA hosted over 100 structured meetings and networking opportunities plus 30+ exhibitors, making this an exciting and very informative event overall. 12 cutting edge companies were recognized for their innovations as finalists in the Triple Tree iAwards this year. ShapeUp took the award for Consumer Engagement, Advanced ICU was honored for Clinical Effectiveness and Airstrip won for Operational Effectiveness. All 12 companies gave the audience an invigorating glimpse into the future of Connected Health.

Twitter was buzzing with insights coming out the conference. Here are some highlights:
