Informal "Fireside Chats" between a Technology Solutions Firm and an expert in their field about topics of mutual interest in person in our East Village office.

Tête-à-Tech

Join Jessica Halem (Co-Founder and Head of Business Development of Aviva) and Noah Landow (Founder and CEO at Macktez) for an informal conversation about the technological shifts that are radically reshaping women's healthcare. We'll explore how a market for a new class of health solutions, once considered impossible, has been unlocked by a new digital reality.

Just five years ago, the success of many innovative health products was entirely dependent on patients getting prescriptions through in-person doctor's appointments. Underneath the surface of today’s app-based wellness, a revolution has occurred. The rise of telehealth and direct-to-consumer marketing has rewritten the rules, creating viable markets for specialized treatments and empowering women to take control of their health like never before.

During this engaging conversation, we will explore how this new paradigm of direct access is changing not only the pharmaceutical and biotech industries but also the fundamental relationship between patients and providers. It dictates who has access to care, what new treatments get funded, and how women can find solutions for their own bodies outside the traditional medical establishment.

Join us at the Macktez office, after work, over light snacks and sips, for a thought-provoking discussion on how a deeper understanding of this digital transformation can create greater opportunities for health and equity in the decades ahead.

We ask that guests arrive between 7-7:30 pm to minimize disruption during the talk.

7 pm - Doors open, opportunity to mingle over snacks and sips with other attendees

7:30 pm - Guests take their seats for the talk

We have a limited capacity (and often have a long waitlist!). If your plans change, please update your registration so someone else can join.
