The Future of Healthcare
Our Story: The Future of Healthcare
This year, our research team was looking for a new research question and came up with the century long question of what the future of healthcare looks like. With the invention of groundbreaking artificial intelligence in the healthcare sector, our team wanted find out how this would really affect our sector from surgeon work to political affairs and emergency response policies.
Through our work, we recognized there was a significant need to educate and raise awareness about our future in healthcare. This inspired us to establish One Health Day: The Future of Healthcare—a convention that brings together experts in public health, ecology, veterinary science, and policy. On October 11, 2025, we will host One Health Day: The Future of Healthcare, where speakers from the Las Vegas community, along with experts from the Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard and other prestigious institutions, will provide insight through the four sectors.
Our commitment to raising awareness on infectious disease outbreaks led to the creation of the One Health Day Club. This embassy was built on collaboration and a shared commitment to empower individuals with the knowledge to prevent and respond to healthcare insurgencies. The One Health Day Club Board is not only raising awareness but also creating a significant impact on today's and future generations.
