About the Event

The healthcare industry is going through a major transformation. With skyrocketing costs and isolated business models, smart companies are taking advantage of new technologies to change the healthcare model. Emerging technologies like Blockchain and AI are unlocking new possibilities for Biotech, Pharma, Life Sciences and Healthcare by creating more transparent, secure and predictable systems. These technologies can optimize data management and integration, speed up drug discovery and development, and streamline supply chain logistics, which ultimately improves patient outcomes.

Boston, as a leader in global healthcare innovation, will host this pivotal event to bring together thought leaders from across the industry. You’ll learn how leading-edge innovators are using blockchain and AI to power the next frontier in healthcare, leading the industry forward.
