The 2015 HealthTech Venture Network Conference (HTVNC) was an enormous success! Exhibitors, speakers, ELEVATE participants and attendees gathered in downtown Boston for a memorable 2nd annual conference. From the connected operating room, to stem cell research, to a robot that helps make vaccinations less stressful for children, HTVNC was a reflection of health-tech’s enriching diversity.
