Write an intro to a meetup about music, medicine, and machines


Music, Medicine, and Machines

Join us for an imaginative, authentic, and offbeat networking experience that will advance your knowledge of the technologies that impact the health and well-being of our human condition.  To make things interesting (but keep things real), our meetup incorporates an element of music to remind us, first and foremost, we want to advance technology for the greater good, but we don’t want to become robots ourselves.  Instead, we believe that “music is medicine for the soul” so our events will use a dose of music to unite us and to keep things fun and grounded in our humanity.  We’ll explore hot and emerging technologies such as:

Machine Learning and all things AI
Computer and Machine Vision
Telemedicine
Genomics
AR/VR/MR 
Robotics
Cloud 
DevOps, CI/CD, and Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) 
Chatbots
Wearable Tech
3D Printing
Blockchain
And many more

We’ll talk about how these disruptive technologies improve Health & Life Sciences and discuss the tenuous balance of innovation + opportunities vs privacy, security, open data, regulations, etc.  We’ll network and get to know each other to explore how each of us can get involved to ensure “the machines” benefit the communities we serve. We encourage attendees such as developers, clinicians, researchers, industry experts, students, educators, industry analysts, regulators, investors, startups, musicians, and all those willing to contribute meaningfully to our mission.
