On Tuesday, April 12, join us for “Hard to Swallow,” a short 15 minute talk by author, historian, and TEDx speaker Brandy Schillace, who will share the history of diagnostic technology and “seeing” inside the body. The program will discuss the evolution of technology, from the history of anatomy to the advent of devices that allowed doctors to “see” inside the living. From stethoscopes to electrocardiograms, x-ray to endoscopy, we’ll learn how tools have changed our method of diagnosis and by extension treating disease.
Joining the conversation are panelists...
- Chris Kaye, VP Technical Innovations, US Endoscopy
- Jerry Chiappone, Senior Clinical Research and New Product Development Specialist, US Endoscopy
- Dr. Ronnie Fass, Director, Gastroenterology & Hepatology; Head, Esophageal & Swallowing Center, The MetroHealth System
- Dr. John Vargo, MPH, Gastroenterologist and Chairman of the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Cleveland Clinic
...who will discuss the present and future of GI / endoscopy innovation.
We’ll finish our program with a public forum to share ideas and insights on this exciting healthcare topic. Let your voice be heard at "Exchanges."
