Rock Weekly: If you aren’t getting escorted out of a hospital, you aren’t trying hard enough

 

 

 

August 12th, 2013

Our 3rd Health Innovation Summit was a smashing success (check out photos here). We dove into wearables, heard some memorable quotables (Steve Blank: “If you aren’t getting escorted out of a hospital, you aren’t trying hard enough”), and had the first dance-off ever held at a healthcare conference.  It happened.  

Get into the groove with this week’s headlines.
