OUR SPONSORS

As chronic diseases such as COPD, diabetes, CHF, asthma and obesity become widespread across the globe, it is clear to many of us that the current “let us treat the sick model” cannot be sustained. Prevention and in particular preventive technologies and innovative behavior change methods are needed to tackle this huge problem. Our symposium has gathered visionaries and thought-leaders in this space who have each in their own unique way found innovative solutions to these problems in their local community of patients. These solutions range from utilizing behavior coaching models to use of advanced wireless technology solutions to figuring out how awareness and education can be rooted in trust anchors especially in underserved populations. There is no one-size-fits-all solution but at this symposium, we will have a discourse to better understand the current state-of-the-art in prevention, healthy lifestyle and wellbeing. Listen to these speakers who will share their brilliant work in motivating patients to do the right thing, in essence empowering them.
