Daniel Kraft Speaker Biography
Daniel Kraft is a Stanford and Harvard trained physician-scientist, inventor, entrepreneur, and innovator. With over 25 years of experience in clinical practice, biomedical research and healthcare innovation, Kraft has chaired the Medicine for Singularity University since its inception in 2008 and is the Founder and Chair of Exponential Medicine, a program that explores convergent, rapidly developing technologies and their potential in biomedicine and healthcare.
Following undergraduate degrees from Brown University and medical school at Stanford, Daniel was Board Certified in both Internal Medicine & Pediatrics after completing a Harvard residency at the Massachusetts General Hospital & Boston Children's Hospital, and fellowships in hematology, oncology and bone marrow transplantation at Stanford.
He has multiple scientific publications and medical device, immunology and stem cell related patents through faculty positions with Stanford University School of Medicine and as clinical faculty for the pediatric bone marrow transplantation service at University of California San Francisco.
Daniel is a member of the Kaufman Fellows Society (Class 13) and member of the Inaugural (2015) class of the Aspen Institute Health Innovators Fellowship.
Daniel's academic research has focused on: stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, stem cell-derived immunotherapies for cancer, bioengineering human T-cell differentiation, and humanized animal models. Clinical work focuses on bone marrow / hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for malignant and non-malignant diseases in adults and children, medical devices to enable stem cell-based regenerative medicine, including marrow-derived stem cell harvesting, processing, and delivery. He also implemented the first text-paging system at Stanford Hospital.
He is also the inventor of the MarrowMiner, an FDA approved device for the minimally invasive harvest of bone marrow and founded RegenMed Systems, a company developing technologies to enable adult stem cell-based regenerative therapies. Daniel is an avid pilot and has served in the Massachusetts and California Air National Guard as an officer and flight surgeon with F-15 & F-16 Fighter Squadrons. He has conducted research on aerospace medicine that was published with NASA, with whom he was a finalist for astronaut selection.
The Future of Health and Medicine: Where Can Technology Take Us?
From the perspective of a leading physician-scientist, inventor and innovator, Dr. Daniel Kraft will examine rapidly emerging, game-changing and convergent technology trends and how they are and will be leveraged to change the face of healthcare and the practice of medicine in the next decade, crossing the healthcare continuum from health and prevention to diagnostics and therapy. A dive into where emergent fields such as low cost personal genomics, digital health, crowdsourced data, molecular imaging, wearable devices & mobile health, synthetic biology, robotics, artificial intelligence, 3D printing to gene therapy and regenerative medicine are transforming healthcare, and have the potential to enable clinicians, empower patients and payers and deliver better, more proactive care while improving outcomes at lower cost.
Augmented, Virtual, and Extended Reality**: How VR/AR/XR are reshaping health and medicine. AR, VR, and XR have a wide range of applications across healthcare and biomedicine, in this talk, he explores many of the cutting edge use cases and future potential for AR & VR in medical education and simulation, to therapy, telemedicine, and beyond.
a. AR/VR/XR in medical education (simulation, training)
b. Virtual Therapy (Pain Rx, Physical Therapy, Mental Health)
c. Virtual Collaboration Tool
d. Virtualized Healthcare

Medical Innovation & the Accelerating Future in the Time of COVID: How the pandemic is catalyzing
a. New approaches to diagnostics, from molecular to digital
b. Redesigning care on the front-lines. From the ER/ICU to primary care
c. Acceleration of virtualized care, from telemedicine to connected, data-driven
d. Therapy acceleration: from drug discovery and clinical trials to vaccine development
e. Public health/global health collaborations and emerging platforms that will impact the future of health and medicine, to prevention, detection, and the response of future pandemics.
From Hospital to Home*: Prevention, diagnostics, and care is increasingly moving out of the 4 walls of the clinic, ER, and hospital
a. Understanding the accelerating use of connected health solutions, remote patient monitoring for high-risk patients, and standard care.
b. Cutting edge and future of telehealth
c. Future of the Hospital
d. The Virtualist: Role and abilities of the future clinician
e. Digital health on steroids. What’s coming next
f. Regulatory and reimbursement: Aligning incentives for the COVID and Post-COVID age.
*(Daniel has co-chaired/co-developed the 2020 UCSF Health Hub Hospital to Home Series, and also participated/spoke in the 'Future of Hospital Summit' at Sheba medical center, with CEOs from several major hospitals.
