NEW YORK - Aug. 25, 2015 - PRLog -- The second annual Evolution of Medicine Summit, a free week-long on-line event taking place September 21 – 28th, 2015, will gather over thirty prominent doctors and popular health leaders to share emerging strategies and tools that can upgrade community health and lower health care costs.
Targeting the runaway epidemics of chronic disease, such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and autoimmune disease, the Summit will unveil the clinically effective approaches to health management and prevention that are changing the face of medicine.
After the huge success of the 2014 Summit, curator and host James Maskell has set his sights on turning around this country’s fifty year record of poor chronic disease management with this year’s mission: Healthcare from Scratch.
“Our modern medical system was developed to address acute diseases like infections and trauma. But medicine has been too slow in adapting to the modern epidemic of chronic disease. The proven approaches to managing acute vs. chronic diseases are fundamentally opposite,” says Maskell.
With a kick off live press event on Wednesday September 16th at 6:30- 9:00 PM ET at ABC Home in downtown New York City, the Summit will feature free daily on-line presentations offered by leading experts — discussing such topics as social genomics, the brain-gut connection, mind-body medicine and evolutionary nutrition. With its dual tracks for health care professionals and the general public, the Summit will reveal why re-engineering health care from scratch is the only way to catch chronic diseases upstream, by preventing and reversing them before they become too serious and costly to treat. The emergence of quantified-self technology, paired with the runaway success of functional medicine provides the unique opportunity to revolutionize health care.
Uniquely, this year’s Summit has no sponsors, using the event to launch a new alternative to commercial health insurance that takes best advantage of the unlimited assets available to medicine, such as emerging science, peer-to-peer support and digital health technology.
James Maskell, the CEO and Founder of Evolution of Medicine says, “This Summit reduces the barriers to health care so that everyone can engage no matter their health care condition, role, or circumstances. We hope to inspire both patients and professionals to actively join together in building this new paradigm of effective and lower cost healthcare.”

§ Two keynote presentations available upon registration from August 24th onwards
§ Five free talks by health experts available on demand worldwide on each day of the Summit from September 21-28th
