Health Data Ownership and Sustainability: A New Paradigm?
The framework for personal health and biological data ownership needs re-thinking. Absent laws that allow us to own data (there are no such laws) we may need to be creative in how we approach data. A sustainability framework may help us.
Democratizing Health and Medical Data Using Blockchain
The healthcare industry is overflowing in data that is heavily fragmented across the healthcare ecosystem, which impacts the efficient delivery of healthcare services and research for all stakeholders - patients, providers, pharmaceuticals, insurance.
Blockchain has the potential to solve these inefficiencies as it enables solutions with increased security, trust, and traceability required to manage highly sensitive data. The promise of blockchain to transform healthcare has led to growing global interest with some estimates projecting revenue in the global healthcare blockchain market to be $1.4 Billion USD by the end of 2024
AI and the Future of Healthcare: Innovation in Clinical Research
Innovation in clinical research is now more important than ever. How can we leverage new technology to accelerate clinical trials and ultimately bring more treatments to patients sooner? AI has the power to enable smaller, more efficient trials that produce reliable, robust evidence. Digital Twins, or AI-generated predicted outcomes, can be incorporated into trials to decrease enrollment requirements, speed timelines, and facilitate more informed decisions about treatment efficacy. Join Unlearn Founder and CEO, Charles Fisher, PhD, for a discussion around the potential for AI to transform healthcare and cutting edge approaches like Digital Twins that will drive innovation in clinical research.
How to Empower Patients to Take Charge of Their Care Using Tech?
Providing patients with choice will enable them to feel more confident and empowered to manage their health. In order to do this, focus should be placed on letting patients access their health data and share this with whom they choose to. They should also be able to interact with a clinician in a format of their choosing - be that telephone, video call or face to face. COVID-19 has accelerated these processes and is welcoming in a new dawn of how we deliver healthcare remotely and internationally.

Preventing Wildfires and CO2 Emissions with Technology
Wildfires are creating up to 20% of global CO2 emissions and destroy the world's largest carbon sink and home of 3/4 of all biodiversity on earth. Since the vast majority of wildfires are human-induced, we need to look at technical solutions to prevent them.
Circular Economy in the Construction Sector - The Intersection of Digitization and Sustainability
The construction sector is the largest polluter in the world. 40% of CO2 emissions are accounted to this sector. This sessions explores the opportunities which arise from solving one of the largest challenges to tackle the climate crisis. Come with us on the journey to explore opportunities on the intersection of technology, innovation and sustainability.
