Program
For many years in Australia, we’ve talked about the future of personalised medicines and disruptive innovation. We are now at a stage where advances predicted in previous years are here.
At the same time, we are recognising changes in our approach to health outcomes, from focusing on population health outcomes, to a new present where individual factors are better understood.
At this event, we will present discussions and scenarios from Australia and around the world to demonstrate the impacts and opportunities of this current future. We will contextualise real world examples of the impact that personalised medicine and other disruptive innovations are having now, and how they are influencing health decision-making at all levels.
