AI is revolutionizing the Where, When, What, and How people access healthcare. Trained healthcare professionals and physical clinics are a limited and expensive resource. With location removed from the equation, shifting care to the home increases access and lowers the cost of delivery.
Major stakeholders including UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Medicare, Walmart, CVS/Aetna, Apple, Best Buy, Walgreens, and Amazon are contributing to the trend of healthcare services being offered in the home or nearest retail clinic.
Advancements in clinical-grade sensors, FDA-cleared AI software, Vocal Biomarkers, Remote Patient Monitoring, Digital Therapeutics, Voice Recognition, Decision Support Tools, Virtual Reality, and Predictive Care, and Generative AI are enabling this shift in care out of the clinics and hospitals. The rise in home-based diagnostic labs, remote clinical trials, in-home IVs, in-home dialysis, hospital-at-home, and urgent care at-home are transforming the healthcare paradigm from occasional clinic visits to continuous, 24/7 care in daily life.
Themes that can be covered within this keynote:
a) The Patient as CEO: How Technology Empowers the Healthcare Consumer
b) How Current Healthcare Businesses Can Keep Up with the Amazons & Apples
c) Advancing Health Equity through Technology: Breaking Down Barriers in Healthcare Access
