Meetings

ASHG will host the Genetic Diagnosis & Rare Disease Virtual Symposium on December 2–3, featuring 16 expert-led sessions on cutting-edge genomic technologies and rare disease diagnosis. The event offers interactive learning, up to six CME credits, and global access to innovations like long-read sequencing, RNA-Seq, and federated variant sharing.

Key takeaways 

Smartphone stethoscopes, voice-detected heart failure, training using physical and virtual hearts, as well as early detection of cardiovascular disease using blood spots are among the innovations being presented at the first-ever ESC Digital & AI Summit.  

Together with technology, healthcare, and innovation experts, the summit will address the challenges of implementing digital health solutions while maintaining ethical integrity.
