Signature Talk
From Defaults to Design: Modernizing the Mechanics of Care
Healthcare is entering a defining moment. As data and AI reshape how care is delivered, decisions once made quietly inside systems are now shaping outcomes at scale — for patients, providers, and entire populations.
In this keynote, Sheena invites audiences to step back and examine the assumptions that quietly shape modern healthcare. Using women’s health as a revealing lens, she shows how systems built around averages and inherited defaults struggle when real-world complexity appears and why this tension is not a failure of innovation, but a design challenge.
Rather than focusing on what’s broken, From Defaults to Design explores what becomes possible when healthcare systems are intentionally reimagined. Sheena outlines how organizations can move beyond surface-level innovation toward care models that learn over time, reflect real human variation, and earn trust as they scale.
Grounded in standards leadership, policy experience, and applied data work, this keynote reframes how leaders see the systems they steward. It creates a moment of recognition and then momentum, inspiring audiences to imagine what healthcare could look like if it were designed with intention, accountability, and humanity at its core. Leaders leave not just informed, but energized to shape what comes next.
