Thanks for attending HCRDU

We appreciated your involvement and hope you had a good time and found the experience valuable! Expect a better event next year, so stay in touch on Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin or this website. We will be looking for your input.

  • Volunteers - Thank you for your efforts. Many of you were out of the spotlight (except our wonderful time keepers). But without you none of this would be possible.

  • Speakers - Thanks for being flexible, creative, engaging, and working with us on the first HCRDU!

  • Attendees - What can we say, if you did not show up, we would be in a lot of trouble and have a lot of food to eat... Seriously, without your interest the event would not exist. Thanks for your participation.

  • Sponsors - Thanks to our sponsors for believing in us and the Health Camp concept. Without your support none of this would be possible.

We hope you took away some fresh ideas, new connections, and a renewed energy in moving Health Care forward using technology and some of the connections from HCRDU. Event information is being added over the next couple of weeks, so come and check back:

Nick Augustinos is known as “the father of Cisco HealthPresence.” Nick has guided the care-at-a-distance program through every stage of development, taking it from a concept in a PowerPoint presentation in 2005 to an initial prototype (a humble assemblage of two desktop computers, a camcorder and a printer) to Cisco’s HealthPresence solution - a state-of-the-art patient-care delivery system that allows caregivers and patients to interact face-to-face, even though they may be thousands of miles apart.
