1:00 PM – 2:00 PM (ET)
Speakers from AbbVie, the National Institutes of Health, the National Rare Disease Organization, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, and Verily share insights on how medical innovation is disrupting policy—and what’s needed next.
Many groundbreaking innovations are reshaping how we prevent, diagnose, treat and manage all medical conditions. Advances in RNA production and delivery to cells have enabled the development of mRNA vaccines with a wide range of applications from COVID to cancer. Although still in its infancy, implanted brain-computer interface technology is bringing new hope to the 5.4 million paralyzed Americans and restoring voluntary motor impulses to even those suffering from severe paralysis. Cell and gene therapies are creating a paradigm shift for people with hereditary and degenerative diseases, moving us beyond treating symptoms to repairing the body. It has shown potential to improve human health, predict the spread of infectious diseases, and enhance drug development. In fact, it made headlines when Insilico Medicine announced the world’s first Phase 1 clinical trial of a drug developed from scratch using AI.
These examples are just the tip of the iceberg. Breakthrough technologies and treatments are propelling us into a new era of medicine, offering exciting possibilities to patients who seemed hopeless just a few years ago. But will our healthcare policy landscape change as fast as the scientific landscape? Is our regulatory framework keeping up with the realities of the new healthcare landscape?
