Healthcare Innovation During the COVID-19 Pandemic

2:00 PM
Details
Healthcare innovation has taken off despite — and because of — the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Join us as US business editor for The Economist and Visiting Farley Fellow Vijay Vaitheeswaran moderates a panel discussing the latest advances in the field and how the very process of innovation is being reinvented right now. We’ll cover topics in digital health, including telemedicine, "quantified self" devices, consumer empowerment through smart apps, and back-office automation using robotic process automation and AI. We’ll also explore how the pandemic has led to an evolution in process such as open innovation in pharmaceuticals, an industry which has traditionally been secretive about research and development.
