    Big Data for Better Cures: Where to Invest?

    Cecilia Arradaza, Marty Cohn, Joel Dudley, Magali Haas, Risa Sack, Andy von Eschenbach, Harlan Weissman, Garrett, Mary Dwight

    Leading healthcare experts including Marty Cohn, Joel Dudley, and Andy von Eschenbach converged to identify that while big data offers potential to reduce waste and personalize care, its adoption is currently stifled by incentive misalignment, fragmented data silos, and a regulatory framework built on pre-market rather than post-market surveillance. The panel consensus highlighted that shifting from fee-for-service to value-based care and establishing a "model of the normal" human are critical prerequisites for unlocking predictive analytics in chronic disease and neurology. To advance these goals, the speakers urged the creation of broad consent models, common data standards for cross-organizational sharing, and new reimbursement structures that specifically reward data utility over collection.

    Israel as a Global Health Innovation Beta Site

    Yulia Eitan, Chaim Bitterman, Gary Jacobs, Roger Stein, Yaron Nordorfer, Harlan Weissman, Glenn

    The conference established a consensus to transform global healthcare from isolated technologies into a unified operating system, leveraging Clalit Healthcare Services' comprehensive longitudinal data to drive systemic efficiency and innovation. Key figures including Gary Jacobs and Roger Stein proposed structural shifts in financing and education, such as pooling high-risk biomedical assets and reorienting learning toward problem-solving, to overcome the "Valley of Death" in biotech and reduce chronic disease burdens. These strategies support Israel's ambition to become a global beta site where the government acts as a strategic navigator, funding public-private partnerships and Social Impact Bonds that solve specific clinical challenges defined by the healthcare system itself.

    Living Healthy: Education, Access and Activity

    Alex Witt, Robert Egger, Sam Cass, Michel Nishan, Rachel Poplack, Larry Soler, Robert Blendon, Natasha, Harlan Weissman

    A coalition of federal agencies and major corporations is implementing a multi-faceted strategy to reverse obesity trends by codifying SNAP incentives, mandating healthy options in schools and vending machines, and reformulating product lines to remove trillions of calories. Simultaneously, innovative programs are expanding food access in underserved communities through technical aid for corner stores, mobile produce vendors, and culinary education initiatives that leverage cultural relevance and entertainment partnerships. Despite these advancements, stakeholders warn that without shifting financial sector priorities to long-term health strategies and addressing the projected diabetes crisis among seniors and youth, the current healthcare economic model remains unsustainable.
