Welcome to Health 2.0!

Good morning! It’s only 9:30am and we’re already off to a great start. After a brief intro to the next few days from Matthew Holt and Indu Subaiya, we heard from Aneesh Chopra, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for the U.S. government.

The gist of Chopra’s talk? A call to action for the health community. He wants to hear from health practitioners, patients, entrepreneurs, etc.—the frontline. “What data sets would you like to get your hands on? Help me to move the ball forward.”

More about his health IT standards committee to come. The wi-fi here is (ironically) very spotty.
