Abstract
Over the past 40 years, Intel's commitments to technology innovation and Moore's Law have revolutionized innumerable aspects of our educational, professional, social and personal lives. Intel's recipe for continued success requires keeping Moore's Law alive, finding and enabling new uses for advanced computing and information technologies, and helping industries fully realize the benefits afforded by the digital age. This seminar will provide a general overview of Intel's current innovation efforts and challenges with a specific focus on how it is using technology to transform the way that we deliver healthcare and serve our aging population.
