Feature | Future Hub 2.0: Gateway to Bring Innovation to Practice
Innovation is at the heart of ACC.19. It percolates through every aspect of the meeting. And it's at full tilt in the bigger and bolder Future Hub (located in the Expo Hall, #146) – a learning destination not to be missed! In its second year, it's designed for attendees to explore and understand innovative technologies that are rapidly changing clinical practice.
"We're at the front edge of digital transformation of health care delivery – with more virtual care, remote monitoring and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven care," says ACC Chief Innovation Officer John Rumsfeld, MD, PhD, FACC. "ACC has an ambitious innovation agenda – including co-creation with technology companies – that aims to propel this health care transformation."
The Second Annual ACC.19 Innovation Challenge is part of delivering on this agenda. In this shark tank-like competition, a partnership of ACC and AngelMD, entrepreneurs and innovators will pitch their ideas and vie to be winner.
On Sunday from 9:45-10:45 a.m., join the pitch for AI solutions. On Monday from 9:45-10:45 a.m., contestants will pitch digitally-enabled medical devices. Follow both on Facebook Live and vote live using the ACC.19 app.
