Rafael J. Grossmann, MD, FACS is a full-time practicing surgeon with specialties in General, Trauma, Advanced Laparoscopic, Single Incision and Robotic Assisted Surgery. Dr. Grossman believes that being a full-time clinician and educator, with real patients and with a deep passion for innovation technology, gives him the singular advantage and the firm compromise to spread a message of how technology, applied in an intelligent manner, can re-shape our future in ways that we can only dream of. As a global speaker, Healthcare and Education technologist and futurist, he passionately preaches the message of "constructive disruption" of these industries by the intuitive, smart use of exponential technologies. Throughout his career, Rafael has focused on tapping the paradoxical power of technology to coexist with a better, more humane medical care. As a healthcare futurist, being a full-time practicing surgeon gives him the rare skills, qualities, and advantages to combine and enhance both passions. On June 20th, 2013, Rafael became the first doctor to ever use Google Glass during live surgery. Being a telemedicine, Global Health and Digital Medicine advocate, he is a strong believer in the power of technology to augment healthcare and education, to better connect providers and patients. He is absolutely convinced that innovation in healthcare technology, along with the current developments in Mobile and Wearable platforms, Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality, along with AI, Deep Learning, Blockchain, Nanotechnology, 3D printing and Robotics will exponentially improve healthcare connectivity, communication and data management, and result in more efficient, intuitive, less expensive and ultimately better and more empathic patient care and Medical Education, as well as improved Global Access to Healthcare.
