Telehealth is here to stay.  Computer and robotic aided surgeries are becoming commonplace.  The Cloud and 5G, and the consequential computing, analytics and artificial intelligence applications these enable are driving innovation: “Digital twin technology,” connected care across the health care supply chain, wearables, all of these are empowering advances.   To participate in these discussion topics, EDGE22 is inviting relevant and senior leaders from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Defense Health Agency, HHS, private sector health care practitioners, and some of the most respected names in health care technology innovation.

To participate in candid and forward-looking discussions on the most advanced technologies, EDGE22 is inviting senior leadership from DARPA, select national labs, globally recognized research institutions and technology innovators.  Subjects will include the future of artificial intelligence, edge and quantum computing, VR and AR technologies, and the importance of these to mission performance and economic competitiveness.   Participants will be invited to select Executive Roundtables, and to plenary presentations looking to the near-term future.

Driver’s license fraud, health care fraud, tax refund fraud, mail fraud – there are many forms, and the cost is high: more than $5 trillion annually.  Annual health care fraud in the United States alone exceeds $250 billion.  How can advances in analytics, AI and computing reduce the high cost of fraud, in government benefits especially?   What are the challenges in terms of data access and utilization?  The EDGE22 plenary session will feature an informative presentation on the technologies and opportunities available to government and regulated industries to ensure checks and benefits are directed to only those eligible to receive them.

US defense and national security interests can change rapidly as the global political landscape evolves.  Real-time data assimilation and actionable analysis drive decisions vital to the support of US global interests.  Good data must be accompanied by accurate analysisEDGE22 will feature both an Executive Roundtable and plenary presentation on the National Defense Strategy, technologies that support it, and the emergence of non-traditional warfighting capabilities: cyber warfare, data manipulation and social media as examples.

How do agencies, departments and large enterprises keep pace with technology innovation and the capabilities these enable for improved mission performance and business success?  Cloud and 5G are the “Great Enablers” of emerging and advanced capabilities in edge and quantum computing, artificial intelligence, RPA, virtual and augmented reality.  Keeping pace with rapidly evolving and emerging technologies is hard enough; budgeting for them and incorporating these capabilities into legacy environments with complex and overlapping contracts adds additional complications.
