The Digital, Data and AI Enabled Future of Prevention, Diagnostics and Therapy

  • As health and medicine becomes more data driven, leveraging everything from wearables and digital biomarkers, virtual reality to Internet of Medical Things, and the availability of low cost personal ‘omics’, new avenues open to help optimize health and prevention, diagnose disease at ‘Stage 0’ and better integrate crowd-sourced knowledge to optimize wellness, therapy and outcomes.
  • This talk will explore emerging examples of next-gen wearables and ‘otherables’ in our increasingly mobile, connected, AI and digitally enabled world and how digital health and medicine has the potential to reshape almost every element of health(care), while improving access, equity and improving outcomes at lower costs.
  • Lessons from disruptions in other fields and how they apply to healthcare and medicine.
  • Tools and resources the audience can use today to uplevel their own health and ‘self-care’ and offerings of their organizations (whether healthcare focused) can begin to leverage today, and set themselves up for success and positive impact int he future.
