HEALTHCARE: TRANSFORM. DISRUPT. INNOVATE. |
|
12:00 – 12:10 pm | Ignite Talk: Hot Topics in 2022 and Beyond in the Healthcare Regulatory Environment
|
12:10 – 12:40 pm | Panel | An Industry in Transformation In recent years, we have seen several technology companies attempt to transform their businesses by adding healthcare components and developing products and apps that are regulated by the FDA. Conversely, we have also seen traditional medical technology companies develop products that enable data platforms that hold vast amounts of aggregated patient and prescriber data. As tech companies trend towards healthcare, and as healthcare companies move towards tech, this panel will explore what challenges these companies face in terms of competition, regulatory controls and government oversight.
|
12:40 – 1:10 pm | Fireside Chat | Innovation in Women’s Health and Wellbeing: Critical Legal Considerations We are at a turning point in the transformation of healthcare, and technological innovation in the Women’s Health and Wellbeing sector has never been stronger. The industry is expected to reach $41 billion by 2027 and is experiencing a newfound interest in removing the barriers that stalled its growth for decades. The evolution of the industry raises important legal issues and regulatory challenges that must be overcome to propel the industry forward. This fireside chat will address why the sector is attracting more investment, the legal structures that must be shifted to facilitate this evolution, the role that technology is playing in transforming the space, and where technological innovation still needs to catch up to improve the lives of women everywhere.
|
1:10 – 1:40 pm | Panel | Privacy Guardrails for the Digital Healthcare Revolution Large-scale digital processing of sensitive personal data has powered technology that has brought treatment and support to countless patients. From access to mental health, nutrition guidance and medicine to patient portals and support communities, and to medical research, entrepreneurs have created technology to improve and save lives. This panel will look at the data trends and technologies that are reshaping healthcare, and how companies can handle sensitive personal data fairly and transparently, respecting privacy and data protection laws and societal expectations, as well as articulate their privacy-protective stance to patients, regulators and the society at large. Our discussion will touch on the evolving global privacy landscape, including in the United States, Europe and other parts of the world, and offer participants practical guidance on privacy compliance guardrails in health tech.

KEYS TO UNLOCKING INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES |
|
2:40 – 3:25 pm | Fireside Chat | A Fly in the Ointment? Antitrust Expansion in Life Sciences Collaborations and Combinations The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and other competition agencies across the globe have increased their scrutiny of transactions in the life sciences industry. The FTC has spearheaded the formation of a Multilateral Pharmaceutical Merger Task Force to explore potentially new theories of harm and new ways to analyze the competitive effects of proposed transactions. At the same time, the industry continues to be innovative in its deal making to manage the technical, regulatory and commercial risks. This fireside chat will address the unique antitrust issues that arise when smaller innovative life sciences companies collaborate with or get acquired by big pharma, and how the new trends in antitrust scrutiny might affect such transactions.
