NextMed Health 2027 · May 17–20 · SILICON VALLEY
The future of health is arriving faster than ever. Be in the room where it converges, and Help Shape It.
A curated, cross-disciplinary summit bringing together clinicians, scientists, founders, investors, and health leaders to explore what's Now, Near, Next, and Needed in health and biomedicine.
Highlights from 2025 NextMed Health Summit
Since 2011, first as Exponential Medicine and now as NextMed Health since 2023, we've convened the people and ideas that later reshaped health and medicine. Many were on our stage years before they became headlines, including A,I. that reads scans, mRNA therapies, genomes at the cost of a lab panel, and care that follows patients home.
In 2027, we're bringing NextMed Health back to the Bay Area, close to the founders, investors, labs, and health systems creating the Near and Next. The format is intentionally smaller and all-inclusive, with everyone sharing one magical campus for four days. This creates more time with faculty, deeper conversations, and the kind of collisions that turn into collaborations, companies, and lasting friendships.
The goal is not just to see what's coming. It's to leave ready to help catalyze & shape it.
When: May 17 - 20, 2027
Opens Monday afternoon, closes Thursday at noon.
Pre-summit workshop “AI for the Healthcare Leader” 9am-12 noon May 17th
Where: 1440 Multiversity, Scotts Valley, California
A campus in the Santa Cruz Mountains, 30 minutes from the heart of Silicon Valley.
WHO: A curated cohort of cross-disciplinary leaders, including clinicians, researchers, technologists, founders, investors, pharma, payers, policymakers, and patients.
Faculty: 60+ World-class faculty from across the technology, Healthcare & Innovation continuum
FORMAT: Mainstage sessions, deep-dive breakouts, an Innovation Lab, morning movement, art and music, and evenings designed for connection.
INCLUDED: Three nights on campus, all meals, and the full program.
community: Join 4,000+ NextMed HEALTH & Exponential Medicine alumni across 30+ countries.
Faculty Preview
Learn from the people defining what's next
NextMed faculty are the leaders, scientists, clinicians, and founders working at the frontier, sharing where the field truly is and where it's going. They're chosen not just for their titles but for their ability to see around corners. More 2027 faculty announced monthly. Join the list to hear first.

PHOTOS & TAKEAWAYS FROM NEXTMED HEALTH 2025
2027 THEMES
-
We open with a fast, curated tour of the converging technologies reshaping health and medicine, so everyone shares the same map of what's possible.
Topics include: AI and agents, robotics, synthetic biology, multi-omics, quantum computing, regenerative medicine, wearables, and what's coming over the horizon.
-
AI is moving from pilots into the daily fabric of care, research, and health itself. We look at where it's delivering, where the hype runs ahead, and what responsible scale requires.
Topics include: ambient and agentic AI in the clinic, AI-native diagnostics, digital twins, AI for patients and caregivers, and trust, safety, and governance.
-
Item descWe are on the cusp of a healthspan revolution. We separate hype from hope on what extends healthy years now, and on what's coming to slow or even reverse aging.
Topics include: the science of aging, biomarkers and aging clocks, prevention and precision nutrition, regenerative medicine, and healthspan at population scale.ription
-
Care is shifting to the home, the phone, and the body. We explore the new models, tools, and incentives redefining where, when, and how care happens.
Topics include: virtual-first care, remote monitoring and digital biomarkers, hospital at home, digital therapeutics, the future of surgery and intervention, and connecting the data to the workflow.
-
From early detection to personalized vaccines, oncology is where many frontier technologies converge first. We bring together clinicians, scientists, and patients to explore what's changing.
Topics include: multi-cancer early detection, cell and gene therapies, AI in pathology and imaging, personalized cancer vaccines, and the patient voice.
-
Item Long underfunded and understudied, women's health is now one of the fastest-moving areas of innovation. We explore the science, tools, and care models closing the gap.
Topics include: sex-specific research and data, maternal health, menopause and midlife care, women's heart and brain health, and femtech.description
-
We’re at the $100 genome today, on our way to $10 genomes, and similar lower cost access to a widening array of ‘Ones: From proteome, microbiome, exposome, to sociome and beyond.
How can we leverage the integration of this data into clinical workflows, and actionable insights for personalized drug development, diagnostics and therapy?
-
AI, multi-omics, and new trial models are compressing the path from discovery to patient. We look at how cures will be found, tested, regulated, and delivered.
Topics include: AI-driven drug discovery, genomics to multi-omics, mRNA and programmable medicines, reimagining clinical trials and regulation, and precision therapeutics.
-
Neuroscience, technology, and new therapeutics are opening frontiers in how we understand and care for the brain.
Topics include: precision psychiatry and neurology, brain-computer interfaces, psychedelic medicine, digital mental health, and neurodegeneration.
-
The Future of Intervention: Robotic surgery, to AI & AR enhanced procedures
AR/VR/Mixed Reality enhanced surgical training and interventions
-
Who and how do we select the next generation of clinicians, and how do we train them and continue to educate?
What should CME look like in the Future?
How can GenAI enhance learning and upskill clinicians and caregivers of all types
-
Human, community, and planetary health are increasingly intertwined. We examine how frontier technologies can extend access and resilience across the globe.
