Precision Squared: Population Management Meets Personalized Medicine
What may initially seem to be a paradox, there is a natural link between the future of precision medicine and population management. For the alignment to be successful, there are some key questions to be answered and diseases to be explored. This panel will discuss the latest plays to bridge the gaps and debate the most essential steps for streamlining the right care to the right populations, and ultimately to the right patient.

More Science, Less Art: An Industry Perspective on Pharmacogenomics
Patients might be a little surprised to learn how little physicians and scientists know how drugs work, let alone whether they will work or not work for certain patients. For many neurological diseases, for example, physicians have little choice but to use trial and error until the patient reports improvement. Pharmacogenomics is changing this as we speak. Experts on this panel will discuss the tremendous strides in using genomics to predict how patients will respond to medications. They will also attempt to answer the inevitable question: who is going to pay for it?

Brain Power 2.0: The Business of Personalizing Neuromodulation
For many, the concept of neuromodulation (one example being Deep Brain Stimulation), seems to be a one-size-fits-all approach for diseases like Parkinson’s, chronic pain, depression, and stroke. While the field is still growing, many are looking at the ways to predict patient responses to the use of electrodes. This panel will look at the opportunities to target populations and precisely alter individual therapies to garner the best outcomes, and how these tactics can build upon the DBS market’s ever-growing momentum.

Patients First: Methods and Benefits of Bringing the Patient to the Innovation Table
Patients are used to being on the sidelines when it comes to medical innovation. Yet, if precision medicine can truly take hold, the patient’s stories, needs, and expectations can no longer be overlooked. Panelists will discuss the trends for including patients and advocacy groups in the innovation process, the policies needed to protect their privacy, and technology’s role in delivering targeted, compassionate care.
