tracks

human performance & digital fitness

Medicine has been highly focused on infections and illnesses, but what if we focused on the impacts of daily habits and lifestyle changes on humanity’s well-being and health? How can we devise innovations to enable peak performance, inspiring healthy lifestyles for all ages? How can we strive to improve and track fitness with the rise of technological advances?

healthcare informatics & biocomputation

With the rapid growth of healthcare information such as patient records, diagnostic test results, and genome sequencing, how can we efficiently organize and process this data to assess trends and work towards treatment plans? How can we connect major stakeholders, including medical professionals and patients, to facilitate equitable access to healthcare information?

mental health & wellbeing

As the mental health crisis among children, adolescents, and adults gains public attention and urgency in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, how can we continue to address issues of access to mental health care and resources? How can we revamp existing tools and systems and devise better approaches to treat and mitigate stress, burnout, trauma, and mental health disorders?
