There’s a new arena for stem cell innovation and digital health advancement. Believe it or not, it’s replete with crystal clear waters and powder white sands. It’s called the 2018 HEALinc Future Health Innovation Summit.
The Summit is hosted in The Bahamas, a safe haven for intellectual property discussions and home to progressive legislation in the region promoting stem cell research. With an impressive faculty of the best and brightest minds in translational medicine, the Summit is a “must attend” event.

The recent confirmation of Dr. Aubrey de Grey has only added to the buzz and excitement surrounding the event, which also features a multitude of industry rock stars, including Dr. Joshua Hare, founding director of the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute, Dr. Robert Hariri, founder and CEO of Celgene Cellular Therapeutics and Dr. Peter Diamandis, co-founder and executive chairman of Singularity University.
Spearheading this watershed event and ensuring that The Bahamas becomes a premier destination for stem cell discoveries is Dr. Desirée Cox, Rhodes Scholar, MD, PhD, who currently chairs the National Stem Cell Ethics Committee in The Bahamas and is an advocate for regenerative medicine in the region. Dr. Cox has been a featured speaker at prominent stem cell conferences, including the most recent Vatican International Conference and the World Stem Cell Summit.
Many sponsors have come on board, including IBM, which will be showcasing IBM Watson via an experiential workshop. During this hands-on workshop, attendees will be afforded the unique opportunity to try out Watson themselves. IBM Vice President and Chief Health Officer Dr. Kyu Rhee will be in attendance and be available to answer questions from attendees.
HEALinc Summit Speakers and Experts
You’ll also hear experts such as Cathy Cather, founder and CEO of Parallel Testing Inc., and Bernie Knobbe, vice president of Global Benefit Enterprise, AECOM, discuss recent trends in healthcare such as the growth of specialty networks, which are carve outs from existing carrier plans and networks that supply services in particular specialties, such as orthopedics.
According to Cather and Knobbe, these specialty networks can help eliminate unnecessary expenses, reduce paperwork and, because they are often associated with centers of distinction or excellence, still provide high-quality care. And you won’t want to miss Dr. Kara Fleming, an IBM Innovation Leader who can help you gain a clearer understand of the enormous potential of AI and blockchain in healthcare.
