ESTRIN: Health Tech is a really exciting and timely program at Cornell 
Tech; bringing together this very important concern of us all, which 
is the health of ourselves and our family members and of the community 
and of the country and technology. 

POLLAK: The Health Tech program here are Cornell Tech is really about 
giving students a really strong understanding and background in 
computer science and then applying that towards the health domain. 

DELISLE: We're the only place in the world where there's a program 
that marries both computer science with the ability to solve problems 
using technologies and healthcare, understanding the entire system and 
the actors at play. 

ESTRIN: Students in addition to focusing in their particular technical 
areas, they work together so they're learning how to do digital 
innovation in a mixed group that's including MBAs and operations 
research students and now for the first time, our law students as 
well. 

SEN: It's not just about learning about the technologies because 
you're interested in computer vision or whatever, you're also always 
thinking about when I'm learning something about healthcare, how is 
something in my computer science class potentially going to fit in. 

ESTRIN: In Cornell University, we have a wonderful medical school and 
very strong interactions with a large hospital system as well at New 
York Presbyterian, and we really take advantage of that for the Health 
Tech program. We are preparing students to go and work for hospital 
systems, health insurance providers, tech providing companies like 
electronic health companies and the new consumer facing companies like 
app providers and wearable devices. 

POLLAK: The opportunity that exists to move into this field, to start 
new companies, to break new ground at existing companies really is 
tremendous.
