As we head into the fall iUGO Care will be on the road, showcasing our latest Remote Patient Monitoring and Chronic Care Management solutions and getting up to speed on the latest developments in the industry. We also realize that the community we’re building is every bit as important as the technology we’re creating. Conferences and hackathons are a great opportunity for us to connect with our community and catch up with new and old friends alike. These events often provide the venues where we meet new partners and potential contributors to the iUGO Care platform.

September and October are particularly busy travel months for us. Members of the iUGO team will be attending the following events:
