Breakthrough Technologies in Medicine: Evolution, Revolution, Organization

24 May , 15:00–16:15
Technology for Leadership
Panel Session
Congress Centre, Conference Hall D3

Breakthrough innovative technologies offer solutions that are simpler, more convenient, and cheaper. They disrupt the market and displace older players. Today, there are two key trends in healthcare: the first is the evolution of existing and very expensive technologies, often requiring highly qualified specialists to implement them. The second is a revolution of breakthrough innovations based on new physical principles and solutions. For example, simpler reconstructive heart vessel surgery can replace a dangerous and prolonged bypass operation. The use of portable devices for self-monitoring of blood sugar reduces the need for visits to the endocrinologist, while digital technology will give patients the opportunity to manage their health. Creating a balance between expensive and breakthrough technologies allows for the accelerated development of the industry, and this task is the responsibility of the organizers of the public health system. What breakthrough technologies are already having an impact on healthcare today? What breakthrough healthcare technologies will businesses be able to offer tomorrow? What system should the state use to support scientific research? What are the barriers to the introduction of breakthrough technologies, and how can they be overcome? How will artificial intelligence change the roles of the doctor, nurse, and patient? How can an effective relationship between business, regulators, and consumers be established?
