Presentation Time: 07:00 AM - 08:00 AM


Join us for a thought-provoking Industry Roundtable exploring how leading health systems are leveraging data democratization and synthetic data to accelerate innovation, improve access, and safeguard privacy. Julie Johnson, PhD, MPH, RN, from University of Chicago Medicine, will share how intuitive, self-service access to governed data is empowering clinicians and researchers to independently explore insights, improve operations, and drive research from the front lines—without requiring technical expertise or programming skills. Adam Wilcox, PhD, Professor of Medicine at Washington University in St. Louis, will spotlight the critical role of synthetic data in unlocking safe, scalable, and collaborative data use—enabling healthcare organizations to accelerate AI development and multi-institutional research without compromising patient privacy. Drawing on their recently published work, Drs. Johnson and Wilcox will offer practical strategies for bridging the gap between academic research and clinical operations—paving the way for responsible and accessible data use across the healthcare ecosystem. Join us for breakfast and a powerful discussion on building the future of healthcare with smarter, safer data.
