| San Diego - The Nation's Hub for Wireless Healthcare. CTIA, the West Wireless Health Institute, Qualcomm, and CommNexus San Diego. With one of the nation's largest life science and wireless clusters, San Diego is poised to become the epicenter for a rapidly emerging and convergent industry - wireless healthcare. Recognizing the potential to leverage the region's remarkable resources, the West Wireless Health Institute was launched in 2009 with a $45 million commitment from the Gary and Mary West Foundation. Scripps Health and Qualcomm are collaborating closely as the Institute's healthcare affiliate and technology sponsor. The Institute was formed by Gary West, founder and chairman, along with Eric J. Topol, M.D., and Donald Jones. West, Topol and Jones will discuss their vision for the Institute - to move emerging wireless health technologies quickly into the hands of doctors, healthcare organizations and consumers, while ensuring that life-enhancing and lifesaving devices are safe, secure, and cost-effective.
