Building a More Resilient Future

Our healthcare system has lived through significant shocks, stresses, and breakthroughs in the last few years, and no segment has been spared—even healthtech investing has seen extreme highs and lows. How can the industry as a whole work towards greater resilience, increasing its capacity to continually adapt to a changing landscape? How can it do so while simultaneously continuing to break ground on new innovations? And what’s changing around how individuals think about their own resilience and longevity? Brainstorm Health brings together leading thinkers, operators, and innovators from across the most impactful corners of the healthcare ecosystem, including patient care, pharma, public health, and investment to tackle and answer these questions collectively. From better information sharing to managing employee burnout to making sure that new AI tools benefit patient outcomes globally, we discuss the biggest opportunities in challenges in today’s healthcare system, and how we can build a more resilient ecosystem going forward

Brainstorm Health is a prominent invitation-only conference that has built a powerful community of leaders at the crossroads of business, technology, and healthcare—executives who are the driving force of innovation in the world’s most important industry. Attendees include C-suite executives from hospitals, insurers, and pharmaceutical and device makers, as well as leaders in technology, telecommunications, food and beverage production, fitness, and other industries. Companies represented range from Fortune 500 companies to startups, as well as VCs, researchers, and thought leaders.

Join Fortune editors and powerful leaders at the crossroads of business, technology, and health care for crucial conversations and connections.

Meeting Patients Where They Are: Advancing Customer-Led Care
Hosted by Tarsus
Consumer expectations in health care have dramatically shifted. Today, individuals are not just patients; they are empowered customers who seek knowledge, understanding, and control over their well-being. What are the innovative solutions driving this new era of on-demand care? What strategies can be used to shift the focus from reactive care to an emphasis on prevention and wellness? How do companies strike a balance between calculated risks and strategic investments to drive innovations in health care? Hear more about the many ways companies are evolving to meet the demands of today’s health care consumers.

Trust Rebuilt: Patient-First Health Care
Hosted by CVS Health
More than 70% of Americans say the health care system is failing to meet their needs, according to a study commissioned by the American Academy of Physician Associates. Affordability and difficulty accessing care are two of the top reasons patients are losing faith in all levels of health care, from family doctors to local pharmacists. How can providers regain the trust of individuals and cater more effectively to their needs? A look at the strategies being deployed, from expanding telemedicine to enhancing the role of local pharmacies, to rebuild trust and transform patient care.
Nikhil Bumb, Managing Director, FSG
Dr. Michelle Gourdine, Senior Vice President, CVS Health and Chief Medical Officer, CVS Caremark
