Innovative Thinking in Healthcare & Education: Beyond the SmartGlass

Dr. Rafael Grossmann
Healthcare Futurist, Technology Innovator and Surgeon

Topic: 'Innovative Thinking in Healthcare & Education- Beyond the SmartGlass'

About the Speaker:

Since completing his surgery residency in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Dr. Grossmann has developed as a general, trauma, advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgeon who now practices in Maine.

Throughout his career, Dr. Grossmann has focused on tapping the paradoxical power of technology to coexist with a better, more humane medical care. As a healthcare futurist, being a full-time practicing surgeon gives him the rare skills, qualities and advantages that clinicians have but most technology innovators lack. He is one of the earliest Google Glass explorers and on June 20th, 2013, was the first doctor to ever use Google Glass during live surgery.

Being a telemedicine, Mobile Health and Digital Medicine advocate, Dr. Grossmann is a strong believer in the power of technology to better connect providers and patients. He is convinced that innovation in healthcare technology, along with the current developments in Mobile and Wearable platforms, Virtual & Augmented Reality, Nanotechnology, 3D printing and Robotics will exponentially improve healthcare connectivity, communication and data management, and result in more efficient, intuitive, less expensive and ultimately better and more empathic patient care and better Medical Education, as well as improved Global Access to Healthcare.
