Preliminary Summit Agenda
Over 30 world-class experts and pioneers will help address eight key priorities to Reinvent Brain Health in the Digital Age, as identified by the Summit’s Steering Committee. All times below reflect US PACIFIC TIME.
Tuesday, December 6th, 2016Day 1 |
Wednesday, December 7th, 2016Day 2 |
|---|---|
8.15–9.45am. Connect brain health with work and life in the Digital AgeHow can we better link brain health and other meaningful outcomes such as workplace performance and resilience, lifelong learning, general happiness and well-being?
10–11.30am. Scale up mobile and web-based assessments and monitoring of brain functionHow will we effectively monitor (and self-monitor) brain function and health? Given strong agreement with “Doctors should monitor cognitive health systematically, especially when prescribing new medicaments,” what role can pharmaceutical, healthcare and tech companies play in making that happen?
11:30am-12:30pm. Lunch break12.30–1.30pm. Empower communities with digital health tools and brain fitness literacyWhat role should community and caregivers play, and how can technology aid their efforts, for example in sharing relevant data with/ from doctors? How are we going to educate and empower everyone with essential knowledge and best practices?
1:30–2:30pm. Watercooler ChatsWe’ll spend some time connecting with other participants, discussing highlights, exchanging ideas and contact information. 2.30–4pm. Harness Big Data and machine learning to accelerate scientific validationWhat new data-rich approaches can help assess what works and what doesn’t, accelerating R&D and proper adoption? What role can artificial intelligence play in brain health, and how will we measure the brain health of AI-enhanced systems?
|
8.15–9.45am. Master the digital toolkit to harness lifelong neuroplasticityWhat are the Pros and Cons of emerging non-invasive neurotechnologies, such as cognitive training, mindfulness apps, virtual/ augmented reality, EEG, tDCS?
10–11.30am. Personalize brain-related prevention, diagnoses and treatmentsWhat kind of one-time or ongoing assessment can help pinpoint individual needs, and what role will intelligent assistants and human coaches play offering and supporting personalized care?
11:30am-12:30pm. Watercooler ChatsWe’ll spend some time connecting with other participants, discussing highlights, exchanging ideas and contact information. 12:30–1:30pm. Lunch break1.30–2.30pm. Invest in early brain developmentWhat types of digital exposure help, and which ones hurt? How do we act on the research showing early childhood interventions improve brain health and alleviate downstream societal problems?
2.30–4pm. Tap into innovative funding sourcesWhat are some important and well-funded “low-hanging-fruits” in education, health, peak performance…and how can scalable, digital tools tap into the conversation and budgets?
