Technology & Standards Spring Forum
The Technology & Standards Forum is an event where engineers, product managers and people from technology alliances gather to hear presentations, network, share information and develop standards.
Technology & Standards Spring Forum Schedule
At the Technology & Standards Spring Forum, we learned how the acceleration of technology is providing solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges, from identifying and combating deepfakes to the role of technology in responding to future health crises.
Thank you for joining us to hear industry experts share insights on setting industry standards and the latest advancements in digital therapeutics, artificial intelligence, big data solutions, and more.
Watch any sessions you may have missed or replay these important conversations below.
Beyond Definitions: Future Standards for Digital Therapeutics
In 2020, CTA launched a new initiative to develop standards for the use of digital therapeutics — an emerging field that uses software-based interventions to enhance or provide care. In this session, CTA experts explore the current and future roadmap for standards to address digital therapeutics use cases, opportunities for growth of this innovative technology, and barriers to adoption.
Speakers:
- Jason Brooke, Amalgam RX
- Gaurav Gupta, MindMaze
- Julie Lankiewicz, Bose
- Kerrianne Haresign, CTA (moderator)
Mental Health and the Virtual Care Evolution
The COVID-19 crisis led to massive acceleration in virtual care. The virtual care model addresses not only our physical health but our mental health, too. This session reviews the evolution of technology addressing mental care and additional opportunities for the development of guidelines related to the monitoring, treatment and diagnosis of mental health and wellness.
Speakers:
- Dr. Nikole Benders-Hadi, Doctor on Demand
- Pete Buecker, BehaVR
- Claudine Swartz, Beacon Health Options (an Anthem, Inc Company)
- Caroline Scott, CTA (moderator)
Mitigating Bias Through Inclusive Design
The increasing use of artificial intelligence to aggregate large quantities of data has raised ethical and privacy concerns. Consumers and companies both now consider how collected data gets used and what can be inferred from it. Additionally, the potential for algorithmic bias poses significant risks for minority populations and companies trying to gather accurate information. Join us to discuss these challenges and practical recommendations for inclusive design that can lead to big data solutions respecting both privacy and diversity.
Speakers:
- Alex Porter, Mod Tech Labs
- Prashant Shah, Intel Corp
- Kimberly L. Sterling, Pharm.D., M.S., ResMed
- Alexandra Blasgen, CTA (moderator)
The Role of Data in Addressing Public Health Emergencies
Fundamental to responding to any public health crisis is access to data and resources that are timely, accurate and flexible. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to advancements in services and technology. It has also helped us recognize new opportunities to improve the way we use digital health resources, which in turn will help us more effectively track and respond to future public health emergencies. This session will explore these opportunities to leverage and improve health data.
Speakers:
- Jennifer Bae, American College of Cardiology
- Dr. Alex Garza, SSM Health
- Dr. David Rhew, Microsoft
- Riya Anandwala, CTA (moderator)
Combating Deepfakes
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to touch all aspects of our lives, the technology presents a unique opportunity to help support media provenance and identify deepfakes. In this session, explore the roles and opportunities AI can play in content moderation, sourcing and creation. Additionally, discover how industry standards and collaboration can support this critical need.
Speakers:
- Poppy Crum, Ph.D., Dolby
- Bruce MacCormack, Neural Transform and Project Origin
- Andy Parsons, Adobe
- Brian Markwalter, CTA (moderator)
