Reimagining Partnership and Building a Stronger Healthcare System

We know that the digital era brings much promise, but an increasingly complex and interdependent system makes practices and health systems more vulnerable to bad actors. Health care has become a huge target to hacks; witness the latest Change Health Care incident that crippled medical billing systems for weeks. Cybersecurity is one of several key factors that raise larger questions about how to build a more resilient system for all stakeholders, from large health systems to independent practices to patients.

TECH IN THE CROSSHAIRS 

With an ever-changing geopolitical landscape, 2024 has become a pivotal year for startup founders and the investors who back them. As the global political arena becomes more volatile and complex, entrepreneurs will have no choice but to navigate the challenges arising from the fallout of international conflict. In light of this reality, how are the dynamics between founders and investors changing? What happens when ideologies clash? What will this mean for fundraising, hiring, and growth? We hear from both founders and investors.

Fuel up for the day and join Fortune Editors and your peers to “brainstorm” and explore big questions we’re asking about the future of tech.

HOW WE’RE ACTUALLY USING AI
AI has captured our imagination and rapidly emerged as a business imperative—even as its development accelerates faster than we’re able to dream. Its potential for productivity is without question. Still: Where are businesses best putting AI - including Generative AI - to use today? (Software development? Marketing? R&amp;D?) And what have we learned? Industry leaders discuss.
