Leaders in Pharmaceutical Business Intelligence (LPBI) Group

Wearable Tech + Digital Health San Francisco and  NeuroTech San Francisco, back-to back conferences exploring the use of sensors, data and devices to improve health, will take place on April 5-6, 2016. We have some exciting announcements — and we invite you to register before February 5, 2016, when the price increases. Our speakers are in the news, and changing the world:

• DARPA’s Phillip Alvelda is leading the development of an implant that will dramatically improve brain to computer communication.
• The Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation, led by Medical Director Douglas Wood, has now conducted 10,000 hours of research for 270 projects and 600 experiments.
• Tel Aviv University and neurosteer’s Nathan Intrator has used his EEG wearable to enable a locked-in ALS patient to move a Sphero ball with his cognitive and emotional activity.
• Duke’s Miguel Nicolelis developed the mind controlled robotic suit that allowed a paraplegic to kick off the official ball of the world cup.  This research could allow millions to “walk” again.
• Takeda’s Bruno Villetelle is digitizing the pharmaceutical industry — beginning with his organization — from companion technology to big data analysis.
