#xMed 2017: Meet Healthcare Dive's 'Executive of the Year': @RasuShrestha

November 4th - 7th 2017 the global community of innovators in medicine convened at the beautiful Hotel Del Coronado to share insights on topics ranging from blockchain applications in medicine and health services generally to robotics to the use of artificial (or 'augmented') intelligence and beyond.

Moderated by the talented and boundlessly energetic Daniel Kraft, MD (follow @daniel_kraft) some refer to this annual pilgrimage as the 'burning man' equivalent for passionate innovators in the medical, healthtech, medical device, precision medicine and emerging 'omics' space.

The faculty and schedule of events us available here, a conference mashup, here. For true addicts of the innovation impulse, prior talks are available here.

This year Health Innovation Media's focus was on quality and depth of interviews vs. the prior years' focus on quantity of conversations logged.

In this interview I chat with Healthcare Dive's 'Healthcare Executive of the Year' and Exponential Medicine's closing keynote Rasu Shrestha MD, MBA, Chief Innovation Officer, UPMC and Executive Vice President, UPMC Enterprises. 

Enjoy!
