We talked with Will Barkis of the National Science Foundation about the biggest challenges, trends and developments in health care technology at the Health 2.0 San Francisco 2011 Fall Conference.

William Barkis is an AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow at the National Science Foundation. In this video he tells us about US Ignite– an initiative that seeks to spark the creation of killer apps for a gigabit per second network and invite health application developers to get involved. This is from the panel “Innovation Showcase: The Health 2.0 Developer Challenge” at the 2011 Health 2.0 conference in San Francisco.
