Kristi Ebong, MBA, MPH, is SVP of Corporate Strategy for Orbita. She has deep roots in health tech including a recent role leading emerging tech initiatives at Cedars-Sinai where she evaluated over 3,000 startups. She has professional roots at Epic Systems as well as startups, and foundations, and also served under the Obama Administration in the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT. Ebong frequently presents on digital health with focus on chatbots, voice solutions and conversational technologies. She has master's degrees in Public Health and Business Administration from The Johns Hopkins University, and bachelor's degrees in Political Science and Global Security from The University of Wisconsin.
To remain as agile as possible, organizations should consider using chatbots, smart speaker applications, and other modalities but caution must be taken to ensure these solutions fully address healthcare privacy and security requirements.
