Technological innovation is the lifeblood of advances in medical care. Such innovation can drive improved screening, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship care and lead to improved patient outcomes. However, if unevenly disseminated across different populations it also holds the potential to widen the disparities gap. This year's NCONA conference is meant to help both clinical and non-clinical navigators understand and apply some important advances in tracking navigation actions and outcomes, evaluating return-on-investment (ROI) of navigation to a health system, molecular diagnostics and fluid biopsies, and the increasing role of wearables in monitoring patient vitals. We look forward to seeing you on Webex!
