Additionally, we’ve partnered with the Undiagnosed Disease Network and John Hopkins Children’s Center to distribute limited-edition pins designed by pediatric patients. Designed by Cooper, an 11-year-old fighting an undiagnosed disease, and Hana, a 7-year-old with dilated cardiomyopathy, the pins are a symbolic reminder of the ongoing impact cloud-based innovation is having on patients. Stop by the Venetian Healthcare and Life Sciences Expo Pavilion to pick up your pin. We look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas.
