Our July 2023 US trip included a visit to NYU School of Medicine and the Philips Innovation Center, alongside exchanges with colleagues at NewYork-Presbyterian. These meetings created opportunities to discuss Visual Patient across clinical, academic and industry settings. The photographs capture different stops along that journey.
