Frontiers Health 2024: Connecting changemakers, cultivating health system change

The 2024 edition of Frontiers Health marks a definitive turning point in the digital health discourse. Under the leadership of Roberto Ascione, the conference has transitioned from a showcase of emerging technologies to a strategic laboratory for systemic healthcare evolution.

Key Pillars of the 2024 conference

• Systemic Transformation: Moving beyond “pilot-itis” to integrate digital solutions into the core fabric of national health services.

• The AI Frontier: Deep dives into how Generative AI and machine learning are accelerating drug discovery and personalizing patient journeys.

• Digital Therapeutics (DTx): Addressing the regulatory and reimbursement hurdles to make software-based medical treatments a clinical standard.

• Health Equity & Inclusion: Ensuring that the digital divide does not become a health divide, focusing on accessible innovation for underserved populations.

Perspectives from Roberto Ascione

As the conference chair and a veteran of the digital health space, Roberto Ascione emphasizes that “innovation without implementation is just a conversation.” The 2024 global conference is designed to foster the “collaborative friction” necessary between innovators, incumbents, and regulators to drive real-world adoption.
