Healthcare Transformation through Science & Technology Convergence: a Holistic Vision -This talk abstract highlights the foundational 2009 National Academies of Science and Engineering meeting held by Drs. Kun and Mathews, as the first multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary event of its kind, which set the stage for healthcare transformation through science and technology convergence. It preserves the historical context of interoperability and integration while emphasizing the current expanded roles of AI, Data Analytics, and the critical role of Geomedicine in disease prevention. The presentation also incorporates the transformative impact of sensors, nanotechnology, wearables, telemedicine, and home care in advancing wellness-centric health. Genetics is underscored as a key pillar in personalized prevention and wellness. This holistic vision reflects the convergence of multiple disciplines, interdisciplines and technologies to drive a new era of healthcare innovation and equity.
