Creating the Future of Health with Delight Thinking

In ancient China doctors were paid to keep people healthy. In this keynote, Koen will catapult you back to that future of healthcare. Koen will show how Delight Thinking moves us away from current curative healthcare to precise, preventive and even augmented healthcare. To create health from a white page. Koen cannot predict the future, but he can help you create this novel future. A world where one gets ill no more. Where prevention becomes a viable business opportunity. Full circle.

'Never Sick Again': A new Look Into & Beyond Prevention

While a significant portion, possibly even half, of global health issues are preventable, there’s a predominant emphasis on curative methods over prevention. This focus may seem justified since simply nudging people to adopt healthier lifestyles is often not enough.

In this presentation, we will explore how we can take a more proactive approach towards a ‘never sick again’ future, employing innovative prediction and personalized prevention methods that may be completely new to you. Prepare for an enlightening journey through a range of unique and thought-provoking concepts like 50 shades of Pornhub, Ronaldo, collecting rewards and even flying drones.

Harness the Power of Your Data: Unlock Citizen-Centric Solutions with AI

We’re on the verge of a major shift in healthcare, fueled by citizen-centric data platforms. This advanced technology will help you take charge of your health data. Imagine apps that don’t just access but intelligently use your data to provide care that’s as unique as you are. It’s a transformation that is poised to reshape the roles of healthcare providers, from your local doctor to the big pharma giants. Whether you’re a healthcare professional or a curious citizen, Koen will help you navigate the twists and turns of this rapidly changing landscape.

Genomic Delight: How to Capitalize on This Revolution

The digital revolution was just the beginning of something bigger. It’s time to get prepared for the biology revolution. Genomics, gene-editing and synthetic biology spearhead the arrival of personalized medication, nutrition, care and wellness. By highlighting the latest science and the most innovative new applications, Koen will give a thought-provoking session on why it is becoming ethically unacceptable to be ignorant of your own genome.

Creating the Future of Oncology with Digital Delight

Cancer and delight – strange bedfellows. And yet, digital and bio breakthroughs in oncology and beyond promise vast improvements in precision diagnostics and therapies, personalised prevention and screening, self-management and at-home care, clinical trials and even cancer drug discovery.

Koen will inspire your audience with an avalanche of innovations and illustrate how life sciences companies and providers can stitch such innovations together to provide the cancer patient with the best possible, delightful care, physically, mentally & beyond.

Creating a Delightful Hospital ready for tomorrow

So how can we create an “agile” hospital, one that is fundamentally flexible and open to change and innovation? Where the evolutionary process is built-in the heart of the organisation and infrastructure. What can hospital leaders do today, to bring the engine of innovation and delight inside the walls of the hospital, while at the same time bringing the hospital to the homes of patients? And do this all pragmatically, cost-effectively, and with a wave of staff enthusiasm and support?

Achieving breakthroughs in creating the healthiest nation

We inspire health policymakers to create a nation where people live healthy productive lives well beyond their 90s. That’s an intrinsic good of incalculable value, but economists will applaud too for increasing the ROI on society’s investment. We’ll depart from 1st principles to reinvent policy for impact. Learning from science and innovations, from here in the west to the Arabian megaprojects and the leapfrogging initiatives in developing nations.
