Health innovation meets Dubai at Health 2.0 Middle East - Dubai

The first Health 2.0 Conference was held in San Francisco in 2007, since then it has grown to reach 13 countries.

The Dubai conference will feature a mixed line-up of health innovators delivering live demonstrations of the latest health tools and apps, with payors, health practitioners, pharma companies, and regulators discussing at how these tools are changing the way healthcare is being delivered in the region.

Attendees will get up close and personal with distinguished health leaders and innovators such as Dr. Bernard Harris Jr., MD. Past President of the American Telemedicine Association and former NASA astronaut.
