It is a new year and we are getting started with a BANG! While most of the US is blanketed with snow and ice, California is going to be heating up during the first full week of January with a big week of conferences in San Francisco. It’s all starting with the Digital Orthopedics Conference (DOCSF) on Sunday the 7th, then Startup Health Festival on January 8th and 9th, and the JP Morgan Healthcare conference on the 9th to 11th. Lots of big announcements will be coming at these conferences, and of course there’s also the CES in Las Vegas that’s taking place at the same time – which will have some interesting advances as well.
