Here are a few we see in this issue.
We'll post more in the blog later - Check 5/13/18.
Dan Levitt and Todd Gray should talk about Todd's new Bio_sole product. Dan is an aging and healthcare consultant with ties to a large assisted living community in Canada. Todd's company is also in Canada and he might have a market conversation with Dan. Both are featured in this issue.
Javier de Oca and Rafael Grossmann should have a conversation about IOMED's medical data solution that speeds proper information delivery for providers. Time-saving innovations are of interest to Rafael who believes that time is better spent with the patient. Both are featured in this issue.
Nigel Fleming should connect with Deven Patel, the disruptor featured in this issue as he is interested in meeting innovators/entrepreneurs in healthcare and life sciences, especially when the work could impact masses.
Patricia Monthe should connect with Nola Paterni of IntraHealth who puts on the SwitchPoint conference (seen earlier in this magazine). Nola was featured in Issue # 3. It could be good for Patricia to find out more about IntraHealth and how it works - they might be able to help her advance her Digital Hospital.
Visit the blog for more connections. That post should be live 5/13/18.
