SVForum Health Tech Breakfast Series
The Increasingly Virtual Doctor's Office:
Provider Shortages and Technology as the Trigger for Innovation

Wednesday, November 16th, 2011
8:00-10:00 AM
Location: Genentech

Description:
On the one hand here is a shortage of nurses and primary care physicians, and on the other hand a 'Silver Tsunami' (78 million Baby Boomers started retiring in 2011) and 32 million currently uninsured consumers entering the healthcare market in the next few years. Can technology be a source of innovation to deal with this growing tension between supply and demand? What new business models are enabled? How does the rapid technology adoption by help or hurt? Can patients use technology and cloud-based solutions to take on some of the care traditionally performed by professionals? And how does technology impact the relationship between physicians and pharmaceutical companies? How do physicians deal with the 'yelp-of-physicians' phenomenon? Who delivers care how and where is in flux. This breakfast event will highlight core disruptive forces and areas of opportunity for entrepreneurs from outside and inside healthcare to make a difference in the future of health.
