Innovation in the quest for better health: Patient-driven transformations in research, technology and treatments

The Donaghue Foundation
2009 Conference

Held on Wednesday
April 29, 2009 Farmington, CT

The web continues to change the way we connect and communicate. In the health arena, patients and health care consumers are developing technology-enabled tools for better, faster access to information and driving change in medical research, treatments and cures.

The conference highlighted the work of innovators who are forging these new models and reshaping doctor-patient relationships, research paradigms, health care policy and delivery.
