Ballroom 6A
The future is near, and dermatologists are shaping it for the better. This year’s AAD Innovation Academy will see the much-anticipated return of F001 – Future of Dermatology Symposium, on Thursday, Aug. 1. The session features a collection of innovators, visionaries, entrepreneurs, and problem solvers who have developed solutions that could change the practice of dermatology, or medicine in general.
After reviewing dozens of submissions, the AAD has selected the best ideas, all of which will be presented by speakers from academia, industry, private practice, the tech field, and more. Panelists who reviewed the submissions and selected the most ground-breaking abstracts and products will lead the session. These panelists represent the areas of therapeutics, cosmetics, molecular technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), telemedicine, and mobile and imaging technologies.
One of the highlights of the session will be a presentation by James Weinstein, DO, MS, senior vice president of Microsoft Healthcare. Dr. Weinstein leads the company’s strategy, innovation, and health equity. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine, immediate past CEO/president of Dartmouth Health, has received numerous accolades, and has published more than 350 peer-reviewed papers. His expertise and insights offer valuable perspectives on the intersection of health care and technology.
At the close of the session, attendees will be able to apply the latest scientific developments in dermatologic research to clinical practice.
Session co-directors include Hensin Tsao, MD, PhD, FAAD; April W. Armstrong, MPH, MD, FAAD; Paul Nghiem, MD, PhD, FAAD; Bobby Y. Reddy, MD; and Sandy Sharon Tsao, MD, FAAD. Presenters include Yevgeniy Semenov, MD, MS, FAAD, and Shannon Wongvibulsin, MD, PhD, as well as Dr. Weinstein.
