Jim O’Neill, Deputy Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services and newly appointed Acting Director of the CDC, will be among the featured speakers at Deus Ex Medicina, an AI health and longevity summit in San Francisco on September 9. With a background spanning leadership at the Thiel Foundation, Clarium Capital, and prior service at HHS, O’Neill brings both government and private-sector experience to the gathering. His presence underscores the summit’s blend of health policy and cutting-edge technology as it convenes leaders from across the healthcare and innovation landscape.
The event, co-hosted by journalist Nayeema Raza, will highlight insights from top health-tech companies and venture capitalists driving the industry forward. Confirmed participants include founders from Abridge, Benchling, Loyal, Noom, and Hippocratic AI, alongside influential investors such as Vinod Khosla, Annie Lamont, and Bob Kocher. With its mix of policymakers, entrepreneurs, and financiers, the summit promises to explore the intersections of AI, healthcare delivery, and longevity solutions—an area where companies like Hippocratic AI are increasingly recognized as key contributors.
