Join us for a Fortune  Brainstorm Health Discussion

We May Soon Be Able to Return to “Everyday” Health Care—But Should We?

Tuesday, March 30, 2021
11:00 AM–12:00 PM ET
Presented by IBM Watson Health

 

While the COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally disrupted our health care system, it also opened our eyes to better ways to manage everyday health. In this discussion, we’ll explore the ways in which we have rethought how health care works, from wellness visits and checkups to elective surgeries and chronic disease. We’ll also explore changes in the ways patients use technology to monitor and take control of their health and use and share their health care data to make better decisions. But even as telemedicine continues to displace many in-person visits to the doctors’ office—saving time for patients and presumably lowering costs—there are unanswered questions about the critical knowledge that may be missed. How can we make high-tech more high-touch? A deep dive into what a “return to normal” should mean for you and your doctor.

Discussion leaders include:

  • Dr. Wayne Frederick, President and Charles R. Drew Professor of Surgery, Howard University
  • Dr. Gretchen Jackson, Vice President and Chief Science Officer, IBM Watson Health
  • Dr. Lewis Levy, Chief Medical Officer, Teladoc Health
