Better Data, Better Care (32 IESE Healthcare)

This is a highlights video of the 32nd IESE Healthcare Industry Meeting that took place on April 15, 2026, at the IESE Barcelona Campus in collaboration with Deloitte. Under the theme “Better Data, Better Care,” the conference examined how healthcare systems can unlock the full potential of data to deliver safer, more efficient, and more personalized care, and ultimately, build the foundations for healthier societies. Jonathan Larsen, Chief Innovation Officer at Ping An Group, stated that if China does nothing and just keeps on its current course, health costs will increase by four to five times today's level. He emphasized that China does not have the choice to try and replicate the Western model or to continue on its current path without finding ways to use technology. Alaa Adel (AJ), Senior Vice President at Oracle Health Life Sciences International, pointed out that if he goes to an ATM, it will immediately know how much money he has, but as a foreigner, that would not happen at the hospital, where they will not have his clinical data, concluding that what's coming is a lot of cultural changes but also a lot of tools changes. Carlos Jouve, Head of Healthcare Services Spain at Amazon, affirmed that if they are capable of having the data more or less well organized and are capable of making it communicate with each other, then they are already capable of utilizing all the technology they have at their disposal. Fina Lladós, President at Farmaindustria, asserted that data alone does not cure. She explained that what cures is what they are capable of doing with the data, and this is what they have to work on very well, noting that curing means diagnosing earlier, treating better, and personalizing. Prof. Núria Mas, IESE’s Academic Director of the Meeting, observed that they are still thinking about making what they do a little bit more efficient, but that's not enough. She stressed that they need to start thinking about how they are going to cover all these needs in a completely different way. Iñaki Moreno, co-organizer of the meeting from Deloitte España, acknowledged that the new design of hospitals, the delivery of healthcare, and making decisions about that transformation will still take time, but the data management side is already advancing. Noemí Cívicos, Digital Health and Information System Director at SNS, explained that data is the foundation both for the care use of that information and for the secondary use of data, that is, research and generation of public policies. Sara Siegel, Global Healthcare Lead Partner at Deloitte, remarked that she thinks their biggest challenge is going to be speed, figuring out how to ingest as much data as possible at the right speed to safely understand and make the changes in our healthcare systems. Clara Campàs, Managing Partner and Co-founder at Asabys, reflected that what remains an unknown for her is who will bear the responsibility of demonstrating and monitoring that clinical outcome—whether it will be the payer, the promoter or seller of that service or product, or the patient. She stated that as of today, she thinks that it will not be the patient but rather more a matter for the provider of that innovation.
