Bio

Robin Farmanfarmaian is a healthcare entrepreneur, professional speaker, and four-time author who has delivered more than 250 keynotes in 16 countries. Her superpower is making complex healthcare technology understandable, relevant, and actionable for audiences across the healthcare ecosystem.

Robin has spoken for organizations across the healthcare ecosystem, including UnitedHealthcare, Harvard’s Mass General Hospital, Stanford Healthcare, Kaiser Permanente, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, Roche, Abbott, Boston Scientific, Takeda, Genentech, Verily, AMN Healthcare, AARP, Medidata, the American Nurses Association, and The White House.

On stage, Robin combines emerging technology, real-world healthcare innovation, and the patient’s perspective to help audiences understand how technology is intersecting healthcare, what to trust, how to increase revenue, and how to decrease costs.

But Robin didn’t just study the healthcare system. She survived it. In her teens and 20s she was misdiagnosed, which led to 43 hospitalizations, six major surgeries, and three organs removed. At 26, she took full control of her healthcare, rebuilt her medical team, and became what she later called The Patient as CEO. She was finally diagnosed correctly with Crohn’s and prescribed Remicade by IV. After her first infusion, she went into remission, overnight.

That experience became the foundation for Robin’s work at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and innovation. Today she doesn’t simply report on the future of healthcare, she helps build it. Robin has worked with more than 20 early-stage companies developing cutting-edge technologies across artificial intelligence, medical diagnostics, remote monitoring, medical imaging, longevity, and virtual care.

Keynote Topics

Keynote #1 : Healthcare Is Leaving the Clinic: AI, Continuous Care and the Future of Healthcare at Home

Healthcare has always revolved around a physical location: the hospital, the clinic, the physician's office, the laboratory. Those facilities are expensive and limited, and increasingly location is being removed from the equation.

AI, remote monitoring, virtual care, mobile diagnostics, and connected medical devices are shifting healthcare from episodic to continuous care, delivered wherever the patient happens to be. Robin takes audiences inside the technologies enabling this shift, from hospital-at-home programs and passive monitoring to AI-enabled diagnostics and in-home infusion.

THE AUDIENCE WILL LEAVE WITH

A clear picture of how care is moving out of the building and into the home
Which technologies are ready now and which are still on the horizon
What continuous care does to the economics of healthcare delivery
The new clinical and workforce roles this model is creating

Keynote #2 : When AI Stops Asking for Permission: The Promise and Peril of Generative and Agentic AI

AI is no longer just generating. It is taking action. Agentic systems can make decisions, execute tasks, coordinate workflows, and act with less and less human oversight.

Robin breaks down what agentic AI actually means, the difference between AI that analyzes, AI that creates, and AI that acts, and why that last category changes everything. Combining real-world research and emerging use cases, she explores the potential alongside some of the concerning behaviors already observed in advanced systems, including manipulation and deception in simulated environments.

THE AUDIENCE WILL LEAVE WITH

A working definition of agentic AI that holds up outside the hype cycle
The line between AI that assists and AI that acts, and why it matters
Where human oversight still needs to sit, and what happens when it does not
How these systems are already touching clinicians, patients and care coordination

Keynote #3 : Agentic AI in Healthcare: From Assistant to Autonomous Action

Ideal for health systems, payers, medtech and healthcare technology audiences working through what to automate and what to keep human.

Generative AI changed what computers could create. Agentic AI changes what computers can do. Robin takes audiences beyond the hype into the rapidly evolving world of autonomous AI, from tools that assist clinicians to systems that coordinate tasks, manage workflows, enforce rules, and act with little to no human oversight.

Through real-world use cases, audiences see where generative AI is already accelerating documentation, summarization, and patient communication, and where agentic AI is beginning to move past assistance. The question is shifting from what AI can generate to what decisions and actions can safely be delegated.

THE AUDIENCE WILL LEAVE WITH

A practical framework for deciding what to delegate to AI and what to hold back
Real use cases from documentation, summarization and care coordination
What increasing autonomy means for clinicians and the workforce
The governance questions to answer before deployment, not after
