Healthcare organizations face growing pressure to expand access, improve service levels, and build more resilient supply chains amid workforce, infrastructure, and financial challenges. Emerging technologies such as drones, telehealth, and advanced analytics offer new opportunities to rethink how healthcare services and critical medical resources are delivered. In this session, Dr. Enayati will share insights from federally funded research and industry collaborations focused on designing data-driven healthcare access networks. Drawing on real-world projects involving drone-enabled logistics, telehealth infrastructure, and the transportation of blood, specimens, and organs, the session will explore how healthcare organizations can leverage emerging technologies to improve access, resilience, equity, and operational performance.
