From October 15th to October 19th, Ever Medical Technology had the privilege of participating in Membrane, an exclusive gathering of 40 of the world’s most influential minds in healthcare, technology, and innovation. Hosted by Sahir Ali alongside Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Unite, Membrane brought together luminaries such as James Allison (Nobel Laureate and pioneer of the field of immunotherapy), Dean Kamen (the most prolific inventor of our time), Larry Brilliant (renowned epidemiologist and technologist), Lyn Lear (Emmy-nominated filmmaker and philanthropist), Peter Lee (President, Microsoft Research), Lane Dilg (Head of Partnerships, OpenAI), Richard Klausner (former Director of NCI, Founder of Altos Labs, Grail), Ron DePinho MD (Past President, MD Anderson) and more.

Representing Ever at this extraordinary event were our CEO, Bhanusich (Plan) Chomanan, and our Chief of Staff, Pira (Pip) Srivikorn. Over the course of five days, they engaged in high-level discussions that not only explored cutting-edge medical advancements but also reinforced Ever’s mission to revolutionize healthcare through self-sovereign health data. Many of these discussions have now turned into action, with projects under rapid development as we speak.

Key takeaways

Attending Membrane was a transformative opportunity for Ever, allowing us to:

  1. Engage with Leading Medical Minds: We had the chance to hear firsthand from top physicians, researchers, and industry leaders about their frustrations with current healthcare practices and its systems. These insights further validate the need for innovative solutions that empower doctors to work more efficiently and empower individuals to take control of their health data.
  2. Explore Innovative Insurance Model: Learning about how leading companies are leveraging new insurance frameworks gave us valuable insights into how we can position Ever’s Insurance arm to offer accessible and affordable coverage for patients worldwide through the use of data-led innovation.
  3. Advance Our AI and Data Strategy: We connected with top medical AI solution providers, including Larry Brilliant of Evity Technologies and Lane Dilg of OpenAI, opening up potential partnerships that could enhance Ever’s AI-driven health wallet and clinical decision support system. These discussions reinforced our commitment to integrating cutting-edge AI into our platform to provide better, data-driven healthcare solutions.
  4. Introduce Self-Sovereign Health Data to Global Leaders: Membrane provided the perfect platform to present Ever’s self-sovereign health data solution to key decision-makers and influencers in the medical world. The overwhelmingly positive reception confirmed the growing demand for patient-centered data ownership and interoperability.
  5. Secure Sir Richard Branson as Our First Health Wallet Adopter: One of the most exciting moments of the event was pitching our self-sovereign health wallet concept to Sir Richard Branson himself. His enthusiasm and agreement to become the first adopter of our health wallet mark a significant milestone and highlights the genuine need for this technology.
