2018 Event partners

As populations age and chronic

diseases become commonplace,

health care will take an ever

larger share of GDP. Scientific

progress, augmented intelligence

and a more empowered patient

are driving changes in the

delivery of health care to a

personalised experience that

demands health outcomes as

the core metric. This is causing

a power shift among traditional

stakeholder groups, with new

entrants (often not driven by

profit) disrupting incumbents.

Innovation, productivity and

access to patients remain the

industry’s biggest challenges.

These trends challenge the

capital strategy of every link in

the life sciences value chain,

from R&D and product supply to

product launch and patient-

centric operating models.

Our Global Life Sciences Sector

brings together a worldwide

network of 15,000 sector-focused

professionals to anticipate

trends, identify their implications

and help our clients create

competitive advantage. We can

help you navigate your way

forward and achieve sustainable

success in the new health-

outcomes-driven ecosystem.

@EY_LifeSciences

One of Bupa’s key priorities

is digital transformation and

continuous improvement to

meet our customers’ needs

in this digital age. We know

there are many opportunities

for innovation in the healthcare

sector, and we don’t have all

the answers ourselves.

Now in its second year, the

Bupa accelerator programme

invites startups and small

businesses to partner with

us to tackle key customer

challenges – focusing

specifically on aged care for

2018. Successful entrants will

pilot and test their ideas inside

a global health and care

company, receive mentoring

from Bupa leaders, advice from

our tax, legal and compliance

experts, and have access

to office space to develop their

ideas. We’ll also provide some

funding for the successful

companies to take their proof

of concept to the next level.

We’ll launch the 2018

programme at WIRED Health’s

EY Startup Stage – come

along to find out more. @bupacustomerlab

Modius is a health-tech headset which uses

neuroscience to help people get lean. It

stimulates the vestibular nerve on its way

to the hypothalamus, the part of the brain

associated with metabolism. The result of the

stimulation is that the brain decides the

user simply needs to eat less. Northern Irish

Dr Jason McKeown is the founder and the

youngest-ever Visiting Professor of Neuroscience

at USC San Diego’s Brain & Cognition Centre.

With obesity one of the great health issues of

our time, Modius has opened a new front in the

war, combining the most contemporary

neuroscience and technology know-how.
