What is HealthCamp Boston?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>HealthCamp Boston is an unconference that is designed to provide a creative environment to bring together diverse groups of people who otherwise might not meet at traditional health or medical events. Participants themselves provide the content, with break-out sessions they develop themselves and plug into a schedule grid on the day of the event. Anyone can present and host a session in nearly any format. The agenda for the day grows organically as the conversations and ideas develop. Discussions cover topics such as participatory healthcare, the use of social media in healthcare and mHealth. Multiple sessions run in parallel. Participants will hear and network with some of the extraordinary and innovative people transforming health care.<\/p>\n
