Hashtag: #DirectTrust2024

DirectTrust is proud to announce their 2024 Conference, themed “The Future of Trust in Health.” Set against the backdrop of St. Louis, Missouri, from September 22-25th, this event is dedicated to exploring and constructively bridging the tensions between usability, privacy, security, identity, and collaboration within the interconnected health ecosystem.

Conference Theme:

In an era where technology’s role in health is ever-expanding, the DirectTrust community seeks to convene stakeholders from across the spectrum to collaboratively envision and strategize towards a health system that not only navigates but thrives amid the complexities of modern healthcare and social care challenges.

Possible Exploration Areas:

• How might we provide interoperable solutions and enable reliable individual identification and at the same time ensure privacy?
• How do we make best use of existing interoperability mechanisms while planning for the future of exchange?
• How do we make robust security practices usable?
• How can we promote transparency and still protect intellectual property?
• How do we connect the social services sector with healthcare in a way that respects the needs of both groups?
• Which digital health applications are trustworthy and how will we know?
• How can we provide a privacy preserving and trustworthy way for individuals and their records to be reliably identified and resolved?
• How will we balance potential value with security and intellectual property risks of artificial intelligence and large language models?
• How can we prepare for disasters while continuing to run successful operations?
• Can consensus-based standards development and governance be both inclusive and efficient?
• How do we promote competition while advancing standards?

More than anything, this conference is meant to serve as a collaborative platform to imagine the ideal health ecosystem we aspire to create and to deliberate on actionable strategies to realize this vision.
