Digital Innovation in Healthcare: A Conversation with CTA's Gary Shapiro

“We know we're going to get to better healthcare using technology. It'll allow people to live, as the Gates Foundation says, better, healthier, more productive lives. We know that pain will be reduced, and treatments will be better…And the way we get there is to work closely with those that are affected in different industries, parallel industries, and the government – and agree on a common goal.”

For the inaugural episode of Awaken Your Best, I'm talking with Gary Shapiro, acclaimed author and president and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA). CTA represents over 1,500 consumer technology companies and also produces the annual Consumer Electronics Show. Before joining CTA and after an extended tenure practicing law, Gary worked on Capitol Hill as an assistant to a prominent member of Congress.

Gary has built a forward thinking, successful business focused on the further development and integration of technology in all industries of the world, including healthcare. He has also authored more than 800 opinion pieces, highlighting the importance of innovation in the U.S. economy.
