    Eric Topol biography

    Healthcare speaker Dr. Eric Topol is one of the most influential physician-scientists in the world and a leading authority on the future of medicine. A practicing cardiologist and Executive Vice President of Scripps Research, he is the founder and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, which he established to harness genomics, digital technology, and artificial intelligence to make healthcare more precise, more preventive, and more human. For decades he has had an uncanny record of seeing where medicine is heading before it gets there.

    Topol’s standing as a scientist is extraordinary. He has published more than 1,300 peer-reviewed papers, cited over 400,000 times, making him one of the ten most-cited researchers in all of medicine, and he is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine. Known for insisting that progress be grounded in evidence, he was famously among the first to warn about the cardiovascular risks of the blockbuster drug Vioxx, a landmark stand for patient safety. He was named to the inaugural TIME100 Health list of the most influential people in health.

    From Deep Medicine to Super Agers

    Topol is the bestselling author of four acclaimed books on the future of medicine: The Creative Destruction of Medicine, The Patient Will See You Now, Deep Medicine, on how AI can make healthcare more human, and his most recent New York Times bestseller, Super Agers, an evidence-based guide to extending not just lifespan but healthspan. Editor-in-chief of Medscape and author of the widely read Ground Truths newsletter, he delivered a landmark TED talk on AI in medicine and continues to shape the global conversation on where health and technology meet.

    As a speaker, Dr. Eric Topol is authoritative, forward-looking, and refreshingly grounded, cutting through hype with the rigor of a world-class scientist and the perspective of a practicing physician. He speaks on artificial intelligence and the future of medicine, individualized and preventive care, longevity and healthy aging, and how technology can restore the human heart of healthcare. Audiences gain a rare, credible glimpse of medicine’s future from one of the people doing the most to create it.

    Eric Topol Keynote Topics

    Based on his bestselling book, Dr. Eric Topol delivers a definitive, clear-eyed look at how artificial intelligence is reshaping medicine, from diagnosing disease and reading scans to freeing doctors from administrative burden and restoring time with patients. As one of the world’s leading voices on medical AI, he separates genuine breakthroughs from hype and addresses the real concerns around bias, privacy, and trust. The result is a visionary yet grounded roadmap for how AI can, paradoxically, make healthcare more human.

    Drawing on his New York Times bestseller Super Agers, Dr. Topol presents the evidence-based revolution transforming human longevity, the science of extending not just how long we live, but how long we live well. He explores the toolkit now within reach, from lifestyle and the “omics” of genomics and the microbiome to AI, new drugs, and cellular therapies, and how it can help prevent the big three diseases of aging: cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegeneration. An optimistic, practical, and genuinely hopeful look at the future of health.

    For years, Dr. Topol has forecast the shift from one-size-fits-all medicine to care tailored to each person’s biology, data, and life. In this keynote he shows how genomics, wearables, and AI are making truly individualized, preventive medicine possible, and what it means for patients, clinicians, health systems, and anyone invested in the future of care. A compelling vision of a smarter, more personal, and more proactive model of health.

    In an era of medical misinformation and breathless claims, Dr. Eric Topol has built his career on one principle: follow the evidence. From being first to flag the dangers of Vioxx to calling out pseudoscience today, he brings the rigor that medicine, and the public, urgently need. In this keynote he explores how to tell real breakthroughs from hype, rebuild trust in science and institutions, and make better health decisions in a noisy world. An authoritative, timely talk for a moment that demands it.

    What is “Deep Medicine” and Eric Topol’s view on AI in healthcare?

    Deep Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Healthcare Human Again is Dr. Topol’s influential 2019 book on the role of AI in medicine, and it captures his distinctive, optimistic-but-grounded view. His core argument is counterintuitive: the greatest promise of AI in healthcare is not to replace doctors, but to give them back their humanity. By taking over tasks machines do well, reading scans, processing data, handling documentation, and by sharpening diagnosis and prediction, AI can relieve the crushing administrative burden on clinicians and return to medicine its scarcest resource: time, and with it, the human connection between doctor and patient. At the same time, as a rigorous scientist, Topol is clear-eyed about the risks, bias, privacy, over-hype, and the need for solid evidence before AI tools reach patients. He has continued to track medical AI closely through his research, his Ground Truths newsletter, and his widely viewed TED talk, making him one of the most trusted and balanced voices on how AI will, and won’t, transform health.
