Health worker burnout is soaring. A global shortage of providers, an aging population and more complicated Medicare requirements, has increased stress and exhaustion for HCPs. Innovative solutions are needed to ensure high-quality patient care and a sustainable health system. This panel will discuss how AI is helping alleviate pressure on providers while still prioritizing patient privacy and safety. From summarizing journals, to asking an AI agent about dosing or side effects, AI is removing friction so health workers can handle complex engagements, listening, and building relationships.

With innovative new approaches to diagnosis and treatment in oncology, the cancer mortality rate has dropped year over year for the last decade. But there is still work to be done, especially as we see increasing cancer incidence among certain populations. But what work is happening today that will shape the face of cancer and the patient experience in the future? Wendy Short Bartie (Bristol Myers Squibb), Maimah Karmo (Tigerlily Foundation), and Emily Poe (Real Chemistry) bring together a tapestry of perspectives, from advocacy and equity, research, prevention and holistic care to envision the next 10 years of progress in cancer.

While there is undeniable hope for the future of cancer care, systemic barriers still impact access for many patients – particularly those in underserved communities. This session, originally recorded in front of a live audience at SXSW 2024, examines how increasing collaboration and partnerships among organizations that touch all aspects of the cancer journey and reach patients, providers and treatment centers, is critical to expanding access to optimal cancer care and making the goals of the “Cancer Moonshot” a reality. Hear from City of Hope, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and American Cancer Society (ACS) about how they are approaching partnerships to create a future where every cancer patient has access to the care they need. 

In this episode, Suzanne Jacobs, Group President of Medical at Real Chemistry, and Trina Stonner, President of Avant Healthcare, discuss Real Chemistry’s newly announced acquisition of Avant Healthcare, how the two companies came together and have similar ethos of supporting physicians in advancing patient care, and how the future of medical communications will involve a combination of data, creativity, AI, and human expertise. 

It's time to talk about cancer prevention and early detection. Join us as we explore the importance of early detection and prevention in the fight against cancer with Dr. Karen Knudsen, CEO of the American Cancer Society, and Jim Weiss, Founder and Chairman at Real Chemistry. Tune in to learn about the role of the American Cancer Society in research, advocacy and patient support, the importance of genetic testing in understanding cancer risk and the future of cancer testing and the role of AI.

Listen to our latest podcast with Peter Lee, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Research & Incubations, and Brandon Pletsch, Practice Leader of Scientific Visualization at Real Chemistry, to learn about the applications and implications of generative AI, specifically GPT-4, in healthcare and other fields. They explore public perceptions of AI, its potential benefits and risks, the importance of ethical considerations and regulatory guidelines, and the concept of equitable access to AI in healthcare. Check out the episode to gain insight into how AI can revolutionize fields outside of human language and thought.
