Today a new experience economy is emerging, where we no longer peddle products but create integrated experiences that address people’s overarching health needs.

Experts on this panel debated on the landscape of shared objectives, shared how their respective organizations are forging new partnerships, and are delivering innovative care models for an ever tech-savvy consumer.
