As the first Senate-confirmed Director of the CDC and co-founder of ARPA-H, Dr. Susan Monarez has helped shape the future of health innovation. She explores how time is of the essence to accelerate AI-enabled technologies and cross-sector collaboration to bridge medicine, technology, and public health into a unified ecosystem—one capable of driving real-world solutions from concept to care and expanding their reach to global markets. Now is the time for a new approach to public-private partnerships and embracing this integrated model will not only lead the next wave of innovation but help build a healthier, more connected world.
