Keynote: Navigating Tomorrow's Healthcare Gigatrends

In the swiftly evolving landscape of the post-pandemic era, a rapidly aging population, technological leaps, and new non-traditional healthcare players promise to create a radical shift in healthcare. Tom's keynote address, based on insights from his forthcoming book, "Gigatrends," delves into six major trends – including advancements in AI, the role of virtual health, shifting generational attitudes towards healthcare delivery. 

Tom will explore how these Gigatrends demand agility, creativity, and innovation from healthcare industry and its leaders. He'll offer valuable foresight on how to avoid the challenges and high costs of episodic care and the anonymity of many underserved patients.

Most of all, Tom's keynote will provide a thought-provoking perspective on how to change healthcare's social narrative from one that focuses only on cost to one that is value-based and which focuses on how healthcare can amplify GDP and our overall economic health.  Attendees will leave with a compelling vision of the future and tangible strategies to lead in this new era of healthcare.

Prepare to be challenged, inspired, and equipped with the necessary knowledge to navigate and embrace the unprecedented changes of healthcare's Gigatrends.

Novel Therapy Imperatives Part 2: The Rapidly Changing Landscape of Molecular Therapy, Radiopharmaceuticals, Theranostics

The rapidly changing landscape of radiopharmaceuticals will lead to an evolution, if not a revolution, in the way we approach cancer care. Specialists in radiology, interventional radiology, radiation oncology, and medical oncology will certainly be part of the delivery of pharmaceuticals, but it’s not entirely clear, how the specialties will work together. Questions include sequencing, the use of compatible and supportive technologies, as well as the administration of radiopharmaceuticals and follow up in surveillance going forward.

The panel will provide a baseline of knowledge about the present and future of radiopharmaceuticals in oncology care, and then engage panel discussion including radiation oncology, interventional oncology, and medical oncology, in a discussion about how the promise of radiopharmaceutical might be realized, not only in therapy administration, but in the context of holistic oncology care.
