Focusing on remote patient monitoring, our speakers will discuss how connected care offers opportunities for efficiency, improved outcomes and access for patients.

Is there quality improvement in the care delivered? What have been the clinical outcomes? What are current R & D trends? Is there economic justification for implementing remote care technology?

What are the cultural and social issues? What are organizations doing?
