#11 HIMSS20 Preview

The Redox Podcast

The HIMSS20 Global Health Conference takes place next week in Orlando. Participants from all corners of the industry – from vendors, clinicians and health system executives to policymakers and patient advocates – will get together to learn, share ideas and socialize. The enormity of the conference – nearly 45,000 professionals from more than 90 countries – can be overwhelming. Niko Skievaski had the chance to catch up with three long-time HIMSS participants who were happy to share their perspective on what to expect and how best to navigate HIMSS. This lively and informative conversation includes:

Here are some of the highlights from their conversation:

20:20 – The role of Big Tech in healthcare

While concerns about the coronavirus may impact the travel plans of some, HIMSS20 is slated to take place as scheduled and we expect it to be another massive event – one that spreads knowledge, creates relationships, and sparks innovation.
