“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).
