Vascular Health Impact Network

The Vascular Health Impact Network (VHIN) is the first-of-its-kind forum for leaders in vascular care and research to collaboratively address pressing patient needs, align shared interests and leverage the expertise of this uniquely diverse community. Members include decision-makers representing the key perspectives in vascular care and research including academia, care providers, researchers, regulators, payers, and most importantly, patient advocates.

Research & Innovation Convenings

We place a high value on partnerships. Bringing together stakeholders across vascular healthcare for shared brainstorming on better ways to address unmet patient needs collaboratively.

Advancing game-changing healthcare collaborations requires secure forums for stakeholders to discuss and brainstorm; an environment where fragmentation, silos, and inter-organizational competition can be put aside. As a nonprofit without proprietary interests, the Foundation to Advance Vascular Cures establishes these multi-specialty, multi-stakeholder discussions and develops collaborative solutions without a stake in the outcome – other than the benefit of patients.

2023 VASCULAR HEALTH INNOVATION SUMMIT

Precision Medicine and Patient-Centric Vascular Health: Present and Future State

September 22, 2023
University of California, San Francisco
View Agenda

The Vascular Health Innovation Summit investigated ways that precision medicine approaches can improve the patient experience in the intersectional space between risk identification, treatment, and outcomes. We examined the role of data-derived phenotyping, artificial intelligence, and omics across vascular disease areas, including peripheral artery disease, venous thrombosis, aortic aneurysms and dissections, and carotid artery disease. The Summit concluded by mapping out collaborative high-impact projects to address the identified issues and prioritize the patient experience, incorporating patient and caregiver perspectives of how vascular health problems can be directly addressed by the research topic in light of health disparities and quality of life priorities. Following the Innovation Summit, a report will be published and RFPs will be issued.
