“Healthcare is the only industry that doesn’t study its own gold standard, which is wellness.”

Nathan D. Price

“Healthcare is a big data problem. There is enough data in the system to do predictive analysis, and have better patient outcomes, better cost structure for payers and providers, but we’re not optimizing any of that data.”

Ann Johnson

Corporate Vice President, Microsoft

“The access issues ARE the issues.”

Timothy Huerta

CRIO and Associate Dean, College of Medicine, The Ohio State University

“The most patient centric thing you can do right now is create a longitudinal record.”

Robert Califf

Commissioner, FDA

“I worry people want to leave the pandemic behind. Those lessons learned [on sharing data] only help if we build on them. What gives me hope is the solidifying convo around what we need to do to be more ready.”
