The tools of disease prevention have advanced dramatically — genomic screening, mRNA vaccine platforms, wearable health monitoring, precision medicine. But the fundamentals have not changed: prevention still works better than treatment, most people still don't do enough of it, and the gap between what science knows and what the public does remains the defining challenge in healthcare.
Dr. Paul Kilgore has spent 36 years at the intersection of prevention science and clinical practice. As a physician-epidemiologist, former CDC Disease Detective, COVID-19 vaccine trial investigator, and creator of more than 50 evidence-based health tools, he has watched prevention evolve from population-level public health campaigns to individualized, data-driven health strategy — and he has built the tools to make that shift accessible to everyone.
This session surveys the current state of disease prevention: what the highest-impact interventions are today, which emerging technologies will reshape prevention in the next decade, where the system is still failing, and how individuals can build a personal prevention strategy that reflects the latest evidence. Dr. Kilgore connects the macro (public health policy, screening guidelines, vaccine strategy) to the micro (what you should actually be doing for yourself and your family).
Attendees leave with an updated understanding of prevention science and a practical plan for applying it.
