SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES, March 29, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- IntuitiveX, Washington State Medical Association, and US China Innovation Alliance are bringing together thousands of interested life science innovators, professionals, physicians, entrepreneurs, and investors together to attend the COVID-19 Technology Innovation Summit.
The purpose of the event is to bring together a global audience to discuss the recent innovations tackling the COVID-19 pandemic while providing an update on the current COVID-19 outbreak.
“As the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S., Seattle, Washington serves as ground zero for this unprecedented national healthcare crisis. IntuitiveX, Washington State Medical Association, and U.S. China Innovation Alliance are partnering to host the first online COVID-19 Technology Innovation Summit to help facilitate the most up-to-date information from experts on the front lines and to feature innovative companies developing cutting-edge solutions to help combat this global pandemic.” Dr. Jeffrey Roh, CEO of IntuitiveX.
We will be joined by experts from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Washington State's Department of Health, the City of Seattle, Microsoft Healthcare, and early-stage COVID-19-related startups in an effort to share the innovative ways that Washington State—the epicenter of the U.S. viral outbreak—is taking action to solve COVID-19, one patient at a time.
For-profit companies ranging from startups to established multinational corporations and public health agencies ranging from local, regional, state and federal governments will be providing unique insights into how they are tackling the problem within their organizations and paving the way for innovative thinking to tackle the problems within their communities.
"No one would argue that today, we live in highly uncertain and historically unprecedented times. The worldwide effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic have permanently changed our lives forever. But it’s through challenging moments like these that we, as a society, are faced with a choice to either act passively and do nothing, or actively rally together to overcome the most critical healthcare crisis that our generation has faced in our lifetime." Dr. Jeffrey Roh, CEO of IntuitiveX.
