The 2026 Empowering Health Conference invites you to step beyond digital literacy and into a proactive, future-ready mindset. As emerging tools like Al, VR, and remote monitoring systems shift from the “future” to the “now.” This year’s virtual conference will highlight a future where health technology is sustainable, responsible, and human-centered.
Sessions will explore the systems, workforce training, and ethics necessary to bridge the gap between today’s practices and tomorrow’s capabilities. Join UME and partners as we explore how to harness emerging health tools to dismantle barriers, drive parity, and empower communities to lead the digital health revolution.
