Medicine can be tailored to fit an individual's DNA, mobile health innovations are letting patients take more control and contribute to their outcomes and new tools are analyzing massive amounts of cloud data and creating new strategies to combat some of medicine's most vexing problems.

From chronic illnesses and opioid addiction to the personalization of consumer medication and advances in precision medicine to telemedicine and augmented reality, these hot topics are tackled by industry experts offering inventive approaches to today's biggest healthcare challenges and solutions that provide better health outcomes. The two-day summit at CES® 2017 is scheduled for January 6 and 7 at The Venetian, Level 4, Lando 4303.
CES attendees will not want to miss Confronting the Sleep Epidemic Head-On, a featured session with Dr. Oz live on stage, revealing the results of a groundbreaking, national sleep study.

ResMed (NYSE: RMD), the global leader in medical devices and digital connected care for the diagnosis, treatment and management of sleep apnea, teamed up with the nationally syndicated Dr. Oz Show on a campaign to foster better public understanding of sleep health. The campaign includes a national sleep study, launched on October 20, 2016, to determine America's Sleep Score. More than one million nights of anonymous sleep data will be gathered, to assess the nation's sleep fitness, while determining a national score.
"Sleep is the single most under-appreciated problem affecting our overall health and remains a top queried area for help on search engines," said Dr. Mehmet Oz, host, The Dr. Oz Show. "We're excited to work with ResMed over the next several months to assess the sleep habits of our country, and will announce the results live at the Digital Health Summit at CES, the launch pad for innovation and technology that has changed the world. Understanding public health patterns lets us build new pathways to wellness and we can really move the needle with sleep insights and advice."
