Entrepreneurial Opportunities in Health Care Calling all entrepreneurs with that elusive combination of technology and healthcare interest and savvy. 2009 is the year of healthcare reform with phenomenal attention, hopes and actual dollars - $19B of them - focused on healthcare by the new "yes we can" generation in the White House. What does this funding really mean for you? Where is it going and is it really accessible? Will it change healthcare and if so how? What do you need to know about the technologies of the future as entrepreneurs, patients and physicians? Experts on the stimulus plan, biotech, and leading entrepreneurs in healthcare provide insight and direction. Moderator: Panelists: |
