A Deep-dive Into Specialty Pharma
A specialty drug is a class of prescription medications used to treat complex, chronic or rare medical conditions. Although this classification was originally intended to define the treatment of rare, also termed “orphan” diseases, affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the US, more recently, specialty drugs have emerged as the cornerstone of treatment for chronic and complex diseases such as cancer, autoimmune conditions, diabetes, hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS.

We’ll highlight judges for the home health and employee benefits tracks next week.
The conference, held in partnership with Medical Alley, will highlight some of the engaging topics in digital health. Talks at the conference include:
- How Hospital Innovation is Changing Amidst a Pandemic: Providers rely on elective procedures for much of their revenue so how have they coped when that option has been suspended?
- How Do We Tackle the Loneliness Epidemic and Behavioral Health Challenges?
- Entrepreneur Versus VC: A debate on how the future of health insurance can be re-imagined: Hear Bind Benefits co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer Shawn Wagoner and OMERS Ventures Managing Partner Michael Yang argue their ideas.
All the sessions will be recorded and be available to attendees upon request.
