Pandemics, epidemics, and other health issues have had significant impacts on real estate and urban planning. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, a proliferation of digital technologies with the potential to deliver and monitor healthcare in new ways have been introduced. Never has the world needed solutions that lie at the intersection of real estate development, design, technology, and healthcare delivery more than it does today.
Explore how health and wellness needs are creating new opportunities in our two-part webinar, Developing Health-Centered Communities: The Intersection of Technology, Real Estate & Health, presented by MIT Professional Education, Harvard Medical School Executive Education, and MIT Center for Real Estate.
In these two one-hour webinars, you’ll join leading experts as they discuss innovative new models and explore how different community structures can support wellness and healthy living.
