As continuous monitoring and connected devices become woven into everyday care, clinicians and researchers are confronting a new set of questions: How do we harness always-on data without overwhelming patients and providers? What does responsible innovation look like when a device lives inside the body, not just alongside it?

Join Erik Alexander, MD, VP of Education at Mass General Brigham, for a fireside conversation with three leaders working at the frontier of this space: Jagmeet (Jag) Singh, MD, MSc, DPhil, Attending Physician, Telemachus & Irene Demoulas Family Foundation Center for Cardiac Arrhythmias, Massachusetts General Hospital, Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School; David Levine, MD, PhD, General Internist and Clinician-Investigator, Brigham Health and Harvard Medical School; and Natalie Artzi, PhD, Head of Structural Nanomedicines, Gene and Cell Therapy Institute. 

Together, the panel will explore the promise of wearable and implantable technology — and the clinical, ethical, and operational complexities that come with a future of always-on patient care.

This free session is coordinated by the MGB Alumni Association and will occur in-person before the official start of the World Innovation Forum, September 22–23, 2026, Westin Boston Seaport District, 425 Summer St, Boston, MA 02210. Brunch/Lunch will be provided.
