 Health, Technology, and Business - Conference Washington, DC March 24 - March 28, 2010  The purpose of the KDNC Eighth Conference is to draw the stakeholders of global health and human development to share knowledge about innovations in creation and implementation of technologies used in extending the reach of health services and medicine such as mHealth, eHealth, and telemedicine. Attendees will learn about innovative ways of dealing with challenges of health delivery in the global arena. Specific areas of focus will include discussions on emerging technologies and opportunities to facilitate global health care equity. Participants will share knowledge about technologies for health service delivery, life science and medical manufacturing; medical and health research and development, health risk pooling, education for health and medicine, and distribution of products that enhance health. Participants will share stories about how they deal with challenges of absent infrastructure, patient inability to read and write, lack of access to technology, and multiple cultures and languages in the global environment. |  As we all know, our society relies on power that comes from technology. It is this power that has reshaped the world and continues to do so. It is this power that holds the promise of great benefit—and unprecedented destruction. It is this power that drives wealth creation and economic incentives for research and development. And it is this power that preserves status quo that undermines human development in ways that few of us see. (Senge, Scharmer, Jaworski, & Flowers, 2005, p. 203) Senge, P., Scharmer, O.
