How can better data lead us to better health?

There has been a tremendous explosion of data in health and health care. And new tools are giving us an unprecedented opportunity to bring data into real-time decision-making for doctors, researchers, hospitals, and individuals. This combination has the potential to transform people’s lives.

The WIRED Health Conference: Living by Numbers brought together 200 expert leaders from the worlds of medicine, science, technology, and business to launch a new conversation on how better data can drive us toward better health.
