As more technology companies enter the health space, their tools and services offer newfound potential to accelerate medical research and help patients better manage and understand their own health through data-driven insights. For health-tech products to reach their full potential, they must truly work for patients; they must collect and analyze data responsibly and equitably. This session will convene a group of key advisors and stakeholders to FasterCures' Health & Technology work to explore how technology players can accelerate medical research through their efforts, and will examine the barriers that are hindering progress. The goal is to identify practical approaches toward a system where the capabilities of health-tech entities are harnessed meaningfully to accelerate research through a productive feedback loop that benefits all patients.

This session builds on FasterCures' Health & Technology work and will convene a small group of technologists, patient advocates, and researchers. Please reach out to Rachel Tunis ([email protected]) or Hadly Clark ([email protected]) for more information.
