The Next Health Era: AI, Life Sciences, Fertility and Longevity

Health is entering a new era, shaped by rapid advances in AI, fundamental shifts in life sciences innovation, and profound demographic change. AI is pushing care beyond hospital walls, supporting overstretched workforces and expanding access in communities and homes. At the same time, AI is compressing discovery and development timelines across the life sciences, challenging long-standing business models, while declining fertility rates and ageing populations are forcing health systems to rethink how they support wellbeing across the full life course. This session brings together three focused conversations that examine how these forces are transforming health systems, industries, and patient experiences. The panels explore how AI-enabled care models are extending reach and capacity, how AI is reshaping innovation and value creation in the life sciences, and how health systems must adapt to support people from fertility through longevity. Together, they highlight where technology, investment, and policy choices made today will define the next era of health delivery, innovation, and population wellbeing. Closing remarks will be delivered by Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) You can also join the event via livestream at undavos.com/streaming
