Every year, the Gordon Engineering Leadership Center packs a room amount of innovators to brainstorm the implications in addition to uses of an emerging aspect of engineering. In the past, the Think Tank has drawn academics, innovators, in addition to professionals from all industries to get together in addition to collectively brainstorm on topics such every bit cyber security, cloud computing, automotive in addition to avionic systems engineering, in addition to the unloosen energy crisis. For their 6th annual Think Tank, the Gordon Center presents “The Future of Digital Health” in addition to invites y'all to larn well-nigh how the role of engineering tin revolutionize healthcare on May fifteen in addition to 16.
The final result welcomes those who desire to participate inwards an engaging infinite in addition to explore both the opportunities in addition to the challenges of integrating engineering amongst wellness care. Some confirmed speakers include Director of Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE Erik Viirre, President/CEO of Cambridge Life Science Strategies Cleland Landolt, Director of Nursing Innovation - Kaiser Permanente Dan Weberg, Senior Manager of Global Technologies in addition to UCSD Alum Wilson To, CEO/Founder of Linked Objects Gioia Messinger, in addition to our real ain Bioengineering Associate Professor Todd Coleman.

“I am beyond thrilled to come across the marking of innovation, dedication, in addition to inventiveness of this year’s speakers,” said Gordon Center Executive Director Dr. Ebonee Williams. “and aspect innovative solutions from the talented participants.”
Neil Gandhi, Gordon Fellow in addition to Bioengineering Class of 2014 graduate, coordinated this year’s Think Tank on digital wellness amongst guidance from Dr. Williams in addition to Gordon Center Program Coordinator Kara Fukumoto Bayani.
Gandhi explained that from improving information analysis to diagnosis, engineering volition accept a certain behaviour on on healthcare. He explained that digital wellness is well-nigh applying what nosotros know how to produce amongst mobile devices, connectivity in addition to big information analytics to improve access to our wellness attention system.
“This Think Tank volition last looking at how digital wellness is a game changer, looking at how it relates bringing healthcare to all communities globally,” said Gandhi. “New wireless devices paired amongst smart computing is enabling improve patient care, precisely at that topographic point are nonetheless challenges inwards integrating engineering into the clinic in addition to changing the agency nosotros already produce things.”

And the Think Tank volition challenge participants to mean value of those solutions to interpret novel technologies into hospitals in addition to medical practice. Participants volition last able to percentage ideas through collaborative activities during the 1 in addition to a one-half solar daytime event.
“The Think Tank has e'er been an engaging infinite for all. It’s an first-class chance for people to network, precisely likewise acquire inspired yesteryear an interdisciplinary theme amongst exponential increase potential,” Dr. Williams said.
