Health innovation was definitely on the rise at SXSW. While there was a lot of buzz about Web3 (crypto, NFTs, blockchain, trusted community, content ownership), health care played a bigger role at the conference than ever before. You won't want to miss key topics from the event, including:

  • How health care companies are well-positioned to weather the data privacy storm

  • Making health care advertising less interruptive and more worth our time, attention, and action

  • Driving outcomes for health equity by moving beyond the moment to a movement

  • The evolving oncology landscape and the impact of RWD and innovation on value & access
