Rock Health Summit 2017 was last week, it was billed as a “gathering of healthcare luminaries, cutting-edge companies, and diverse individuals” focused on digital health. The conference in San Francisco combines speakers and companies in medicine, technology, and policy to inspire, spark and question how these three important areas of healthcare combine for our future health. Below is a collection of tweets highlighting what was said during the conference regarding data, patients, automation, and doctors.
