The future of healthcare is virtual, informed by clinical needs, aided by sensors, powered by AI and driven by digital health innovators. To solve these complex future healthcare needs, there must be a deliberate effort to cultivate communities of experts to understand how to leverage the resources at hand and build consensus on how to chart the path ahead.
