Shaping the Future of Healthcare

Shaping the Future of Healthcare, keynote by Ross Dawson
New medical and information technologies are shifting power toward the individual patient, while real-time data moves care from reactive to predictive. This keynote gives health leaders a clear view of what that shift means for clinicians, patients, and services.

Ross Dawson has delivered keynotes and strategic foresight sessions for hospital groups, health services, healthcare associations, health software companies, and pharmaceutical companies.

Keynote overview

  • Power shifts to the individual. Better-informed patients expect to participate in their own care rather than defer entirely to providers.
  • Shared research accelerates. Shared research and open data are speeding up scientific progress across the sector.
  • Predictive medicine. Real-time health data supports the shift from reactive to predictive medicine and helps drive behavior change.
  • Connected health. Connected health enables remote consultations and procedures that were not possible before.
  • Humans + AI in care. AI supports diagnosis and documentation while clinicians’ judgment and relationships stay at the center of care.
  • AI agents in patient service. How AI agents change access, navigation, and administration for patients and providers.
  • Strategic foresight. Health services facing demographic and workforce pressure need foresight to plan for what comes next.

Who it is for
