MM&M has announced the 2018 classes of the Top 40 Healthcare Transformers and Top 10 Innovation Catalysts, its annual showcase of executives, investors, entrepreneurs, designers and thinkers who are ushering the industry into its new technological golden era.
The 50 honorees will be celebrated at a reception on the night of May 16. The next day, MM&M will hold its annual Transforming Healthcare conference, an event dedicated to helping industry go “beyond the pill.”
“The industry has benefited from an influx of innovative thinkers and doers, all trying to improve communications and/or health at population scale,” said Marc Iskowitz, MM&M’s editor-in-chief. “The individuals on these two lists, with their entrepreneurial spirit, are fueling change in ways we couldn’t have imagined even a year or two ago.”
