Jason Hwang's Speech Descriptions

Dr. Jason Hwang shares his groundbreaking research into disruptive innovation, which has transformed many industries and can do the same for health care. He describes how new medical technologies have fueled the transition from intuitive to precision medicine, allowing previously complex disorders to be diagnosed precisely and treated with predictably effective therapies.

When these innovations are integrated into new business systems, they will spearhead vital reforms in the healthcare industry, offering solutions to the core problems currently crippling the nation′s healthcare system: skyrocketing costs and the lack of access to quality medical care.

The basic elements of Dr. Hwang′s presentations cover:

  • Description of disruptive innovation and applying the lessons of innovation from other industries to health care
  • The role of precision (aka "personalized") medicine as the technological enabler of disruption in health care
  • Business model innovation: the different types of business models and how they apply to health care
  • Analysis of the unsustainable business model of today′s hospital and what can be done
  • Analysis of the business model of the physician′s practice and the rise of retail clinics
  • Establishing a new value network in health care to disrupt the existing one, and who can lead the charge
