Talk Title: The Power of Human Lived Experience in a Virtual Human World

Steven Bourke: I am a dynamic advocate and entrepreneur in digital health, leading PersonalPulse to transform patients from passive participants into equal partners in eHealth innovation. With over 20 years of experience in industry, non-for-profit, and private business. I guide strategic, value-based co-creation across healthcare ecosystems—co-founding initiatives like RheumaCura, chairing patient advisory groups (e.g., IMI Pharmaledger), serving as an academic peer review author, lecturing at universities, and supporting Global, Swiss, and EU-level digital health programs. I am a passionate speaker and advisor on topics including patient-inclusion innovation, digital biomarkers, HTA, and diversity in clinical trials.
