Medical Automation: Healthcare for the Future
Conference Information
The Science Advisory Board is proud to sponsor The 2nd Medical Automation International
Conference and Exhibition which will focus on technology to solve the health care cost crisis in
industrialized nations. While the First Medical Automation Conference, held in Finlandia
Hall, Helsinki, Finland dealt with a new paradigm,
wireless medicine, the second conference addresses the rational use of technology for
improved health and lower costs. The conference is subtitled, "Caring Machines,
Optimal Medicine."
In hundreds of applications from electronic medical records to emergency services to assisted living,
opportunities exist for automated solutions offering better health at lower expense-for individuals
and for the national economy. This conference will bring those opportunities before a distinguished audience.
Our sponsorship of this prestigious event represents another major step forward for The Science Advisory Board.
Partnering with MedicalAutomation.org is in keeping with our mission to help connect leading scientists and
physicians and accelerate the development of new technologies. We have disseminated this information
in a press release through a variety of sources. You can find that press release at

Note from author Andy Kessler

Andy Kessler, author of "The End of Medicine: How Silicon Valley (and naked mice) will reboot your doctor
is enthusiastic about the conference and was willing to attend as a speaker but prior commitments
prevented him from doing so. Instead he wrote a letter addressed to members of The Science Advisory
Board. You can read it here. | |

More about MedicalAutomation.org:
MedicalAutomation.org is a non-profit organization that has been organized to better
inform all health care consumers about new health improvements and cost saving
technologies. Medicine has always involved the pairing of knowledge and technology
in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. Physicians of the twenty-first century
have at their disposal an overwhelming abundance of new technologies, however the
challenge now becomes how best to select and implement the new technologies for
effective and efficient patient treatment.
MedicalAutomation.org is holding their conference November 1st through the 3rd at
Lansdowne Resort, Loudoun County, Virginia; just 15 minutes from Dulles Airport
(Washington, D.C., USA).
This conference is the first International conference to focus on the medical
process, and how technology can be used to increase efficiency, improve outcomes,
and reduce errors. The first conference, held in Helsinki, Finland covered the
emerging world of wireless medicine. For a conference summary, click here.
Limited seating in Washington D.C. will fill up quickly, so if you wish to attend, you must
