WIRED Health 2019 post-show roundup

On March 26, at the Francis Crick Institute research centre in London, WIRED Editor Greg Williams kicked off WIRED Health 2019. The event, in its sixth edition, features talks, interviews and panel discussions with the world's most inspiring healthcare innovators, entrepreneurs, and researchers, in order to shed light on what lies ahead for the medicine and healthcare sectors. "We wanted to bring together some amazing innovators in the worlds of healthcare, pharma and technology to look at what the future looks like for health in the age of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, big data and genomics," Williams said in his opening remarks on the main stage. Over the following hours, the speakers took the floor, bringing to life an impressive collection of eye-opening stories about what it takes to make innovation happen. "Discovery research is going to create the future," said Paul Nurse, director of the Francis Crick Institute.
