College of Agriculture and Natural ResourcesThe 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.
