AGENDA

Tory Cenaj, Founder and CEO, Partners in Digital Health, Blockchain in Healthcare Today Platform Approaches Journal (BHTY)

Daniel Seewald, Founder & CEO, Deliberate Innovation, and Former Pfizer Head of Worldwide Innovation

Risk taking is at the very core of experimenting and embracing new and emergency technologies.  The interactive keynote by thought leader, Dan Seewald, will include:

• • • • • • The importance of bold risk taking when it comes to new tech
          • What stops us from taking bold risks with emerging tech
          • Three (3) deliberate practices to be more bold
          • a practical exercise to create your very own boldness action plan

The presentation will showcase the DCI Network’s groundbreaking Cancer COMPASS initiative, a comprehensive data integration platform designed to revolutionize cancer care across the entire patient journey. We will discuss how COMPASS will connect patient data from screening and diagnosis through treatment and remote follow-up monitoring, creating a continuous, data-driven care pathway. We are employing innovative methods to harmonize data from diverse sources, including community hospitals, academic medical centers, and patient-reported outcomes, providing patients and healthcare providers with an unprecedented, holistic view of each case. We will describe the DCI Network collaborative ecosystem we’ve cultivated, bringing together patients, academics, non-profit organizations, private sector companies, and government entities. This multidisciplinary partnership has been crucial in developing agile architectures that support precision medicine and lay the groundwork for advanced AI applications in oncology, ultimately enabling truly patient-centered care and data-informed decision-making across the cancer care continuum. 

By attending this talk, you’ll gain insights into the technical challenges and solutions in building a cross-institutional data network and strategies for ensuring data interoperability and patient privacy, the potential of integrated data systems to transform cancer care and research, and how collaborative ecosystems can drive innovation in healthcare technology.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare, the integration of blockchain technology offers transformative potential in managing health data while ensuring privacy and security. This presentation will explore the concept of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) and its potential to revolutionize health data management by giving patients full control over their health information. We will discuss how SSI can enhance privacy, reduce risks associated with data breaches, and empower individuals by placing them at the center of their healthcare journey. Experts from health tech, data governance, and privacy will share insights on how SSI enables patients to own, manage, and share their data without relying on centralized entities, thus safeguarding privacy.

The session will explore the convergence of AI, XR, and Web3 technologies in transforming digital health, and focus on applications, challenges, and future potential in revolutionizing healthcare delivery, financing, and patient engagement. Participants will gain insight into the practical applications and real-world impact of technology, identification of challenges, and collaborative strategies to employ for successful integration of digital health technologies.

This panel will delve into how companies are leveraging technology to drive diversity and inclusivity in the startup and investing industries. As co-authors of the groundbreaking California SB54 legislation, signed into law this past year, speakers will discuss the importance of regulatory efforts and share insights on why it’s essential to integrate advocacy into business strategies. Attendees will gain valuable perspectives on the current state of diversity in blockchain and its implications for the healthcare sector. The session will include a dynamic discussion followed by a Q&A segment to engage the audience.

• • • • • • The “North Star” of a platform business model is achieving network effects—where users experience more value as the size of the network increases. Network effects are the single greatest differentiator in platform success. Major issues to address include:
          • How to solve the chicken/egg (aka cold start) problem – achieving critical mass on both the supply and demand sides of the platform
          • What types of network effects are possible?
          • What’s the relative strength of different types of network effects?
          • How should the platform be designed?
          • What’s the optimal monetization approach? Should one side be subsidized?
          • How open should the platform be?
          • What’s the optimal governance model?
          • What are key metrics to measure progress and success?
          • How can AI or blockchain function “as platforms”?
