The future of health rests on data—but where do these data come from, and how will we use them?
In this session we’ll explore some of the challenges and opportunities around biomedical data and their impact on personalized, predictive health. We’ll discuss new careers that could arise from the growth of DNA data, digital biomarkers, and AI in healthcare.
