Rafael J. Grossmann Zamora

General,Trauma, Acute Care, Advanced Laparoscopic & Robotic Surgeon

I’m a full-time practicing surgeon in Maine, USA. My specialties include General, Trauma, Advanced Laparoscopic, Single Incision and Robotic Assisted Surgery. I believe that being a full-time clinician and educator, with real patients and with a deep passion for innovation technology, gives me the singular advantage and the firm compromise to spread a message of how technology, applied in an intelligent manner, can re-shape our future in ways that we can only dream of. As a global speaker, Healthcare and Education technologist and futurist, I passionately preach the message of “constructive disruption” of these industries by the intuitive, smart use of exponential technologies. Throughout my career, I have focused on tapping the paradoxical power of technology to coexist with a better, more humane medical care. As a healthcare futurist, being a full-time practicing surgeon gives me the rare skills, qualities and advantages to combine and enhance both passions. I was, in June 20th, 2013, the first doctor to ever use Google Glass during live surgery (Currently focusing Spatial Computing, on MagicLeap and Hololens applications in Healthcare & Education) Being a telemedicine, Global Health and Digital Medicine advocate, I’m a strong believer in the power of technology to augment healthcare and education, to better connect providers and patients. I’m absolutely convinced that innovation in healthcare technology, along with the current developments in Mobile and Wearable platforms, Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality, along with AI, Deep Learning, Blockchain, Nanotechnology, 3D printing and Robotics will exponentially improve healthcare connectivity, communication and data management, and result in more efficient, intuitive, less expensive and ultimately better and more empathic patient care and Medical Education, as well as improved Global Access to Healthcare. “Technology is just an asset to the basic and most important qualities of a medical provider, compassion and empathy”.

Convenzis Healthcare Event testimonials

What our clients say about us

It was great to join the Convenzis team again for the patient flow event. As always, the team were incredibly accommodating and happy to help. The quality of attendees is always of a high standard and relevant to the patient flow and to us also. We continue to have great discussions and footfall around our stand with no need to try and encourage people to come and see us. Really positive event for us and we look forward to working with Convenzis in the future.

My colleague and I presented at the NHS workforce conference 2023, 19 September. The support and guidance we received from the Convenzis team in the run up to our presentation slot was great, well timed and perfectly pitched. The event itself, again was expertly organised. The conference was well Chaired by Sean, who was very engaging. As an audience member as well as a panel member, I would definitely work with the Convenzis team again.

I worked with Convenzis, primarily Dan, for the first time this year, putting together a bespoke online event for IBM. He has always been so responsive and accommodating. The team always remained professional and helpful – despite the many demands from our side! They were very keen for us to maximise on the investment and revisit those attendees who had not committed to follow ups.
It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Convenzis and I know there will be more opportunities next year. Looking forward to it!
