Tuesday, September 21
Point-Of-Care & Consumer Diagnostics: The Rise of New Market Forces
As COVID-19 cases emerged and quickly spread throughout the US and beyond, demand grew for faster testing in higher volumes. To meet this demand with laboratory-based testing alone was a struggle given the resource-intensive testing techniques (i.e., RT-PCR, etc.) and slow turnaround times. In response, diagnostic manufacturers turned to quicker, cheaper, and new testing technologies. Hear from a leading industry expert about the current state and the future of rapid diagnostic testing, specifically focusing on where there is a need and how to advance a new product through the commercialization process. Topics include:
Where investors see gaps in the market for new product development
Biggest challenges with new product introduction in the diagnostics market
Ways POC and consumer products can be brought to market
Sources of funding for new products
Speaker: Bobby Brooke Herrera, Co-Founder & Chief Scientific Officer, E25Bio
How AI & ML Are Advancing Hospital at Home | Day 1 Keynote
Artificial Intelligence is helping to pioneer an entirely new category of medicine, one that gives clinicians the tools to provide highly sophisticated personalized health analytics that predicts clinical exacerbation in advance of a critical event. Join industry innovators to help understand how an AI-powered platform is empowering digital therapeutics for better patient outcomes. Topics include:
How physicians and clinical staff are treating patients with acute needs at home through new digital health tools
How AI and ML technology is being utilized in a web and app-based that allows for better remote monitoring, communication, and inventory management
Integrating digital tools into clinical practice to expand the hospital at home model
Speaker: Carolyn Yang, MD, Attending Physician, Hospital at Home Program, Brigham & Women's Hospital
Surgical Suite & Cardiac Device Big Data: How Continuous Monitoring, Telemedicine, and Data are Transforming Care
The payment reforms that occurred during COVID-19, including telemedicine and the hospital-at-home, along with FDA, created clear regulatory pathways for artificial intelligence algorithms and digital therapeutics. We have seen the explosion of data from the surgical suite, implantable devices, sensors, and apps. This panel will explore the most recent changes and make predictions for the next 2-5 years. Join top digital health experts and physicians as they discuss:
How data collected from the surgical suite and cardiac devices is transforming care
How the data is already being used, as well as what needs to happen for the data to be more effectively used
How hospitals are working with medical device manufacturers, particularly startups, to change how care is delivered
Moderator: Jennifer Joe, MD, CEO & Founder, Vanguard Health
Panelists:
Ib Badejo, Sr. Director, New Ventures (Med Devices), Johnson & Johnson Innovation Center
Ami Bhatt, MD, Director of Outpatient Cardiology and TeleCardiology, Massachusetts General Hospital
Gabriel Brat, MD, Assistant Professor in Surgery and Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School

Democratization Through Access: Next Generation Medical Robotics | Day 2 Keynote
Robotic surgeries have grown drastically in recent years, so why are usability and adoption still lagging? Adoption in developed markets is minimal, while the need continues to grow, especially when compared to the overall market opportunity. The market is still heavily focused on capital equipment and the physician's expertise. There is a new way to approach the robotic surgery space, from fully disposable systems to autonomous robots designed to leverage hardware, software, and imaging to improve access and adoption. You'll hear from industry veteran and expert Harel Gadot about products on the market that are changing the game. And he'll talk about his vision for the surgical robotic industry and the strategies he's deployed to make this a reality. Topics include:
Empowering all healthcare providers, not just physicians
Eliminating the capital equipment barrier
Shifting from robotic-assisted surgery to robotic advised surgery and ultimately autonomous surgery
Moving from a robotic product to a robotic procedure
Speaker: Harel Gadot, Company Group Chairman, MEDX Ventures Group
Innovations in Chronic Disease Management: How Wearable Sensors and Digital Therapeutics are Driving Change in Hypertension
Wearable sensors and digital therapeutics are changing chronic disease management in cardiovascular disease, diabetes and metabolic health, and pain management. Hypertension is the next major chronic disease to see huge innovations coming to market that will change how the disease is managed forever. New sensor technologies, advanced digital therapeutics, remote care delivery, and other innovations are seeing accelerated market adoption, but we're still in the early days. Hear a panel of experts discuss:
The latest trends and innovations in hypertension management using sensors and wearables as warning signs for chronic disease
Case examples demonstrating the most recent advances in devices and sensors driving better patient outcomes
Understanding what data is important to clinicians
Integrating digital therapeutics into clinical practice and workflow through patient and provider acceptance and engagement
Speakers:
Dr. Steven LeBoeuf, Co-Founder & President, Valencell
Rebecca Grochow Mishuris, MD, MS, MPH, Chief Medical Information Officer, Boston Medical Center Health System
Bill Betten, Director, Solutions, S3 Connected Health
