Wearable Biosensors Lecture Opens Series

Brennan Spiegel, MD, MSHS, Cedars-Sinai’s new director of Health Services Research, will kick off the 2014-15 Health Services Research (HSR) Lecture Series with a presentation on wearable biosensors.

The lecture will take place Monday, Nov. 17, from noon-1 p.m. in Harvey Morse Auditorium. All are welcome.

The lecture series will address the potential of HSR to impact the triple aim of improving population health, healthcare and costs. It will feature both Cedars-Sinai and prominent outside speakers.

Lectures will occur monthly through Jan. 13 and approximately every two weeks thereafter. Specific topics will include everything from mobile health and social media to biometrics and cost-effectiveness analysis.

A major goal of the series is to spark interest across diverse groups and to identify opportunities for collaborations.
