At the Summit, industry leaders will explore the challenges around innovations that are changing health care as we know it, including gene editing, wearable devices, and new treatments for obesity, viral disease, and cancer.
“The pace of innovation in medicine and health technology has never been faster,” said Matthew Herper, senior writer, medicine, and editorial director of events at STAT. “Day in and day out, we see advances we don’t hesitate to call – dare I say it – breakthroughs. But science remains one of society’s most difficult pursuits, and every discovery creates its own challenges: how to get it to patients, how to pay for it, how to fund further research. We can’t wait to discuss all of those challenges at this Summit.”
