Keynote Speakers

Malaz Boustani, M.D., MPH

Dr. Boustani is a geriatrician, a neuroscientist, a serial entrepreneur and an agile scientist with extensive experience in designing, evaluating, implementing, and disseminating healthcare innovations with a main focus on brain health. Over the past decade, Dr. Boustani has built a clinical laboratory of more than 2,000 ambulatory practices serving at least 10 million lives within five Midwestern States (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Kentucky). He used the above clinical laboratory to lead the execution of numerous clinical research studies funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services totaling more than $100 million. He has more than 200 peer-reviewed publications and just published two books about Agile Implementation and Agile Network. In order to increase the societal impact of his discoveries and innovation, he founded four Information technology companies including Preferred Population Health, RestUp, Blue Agilis, and DigiCare Realized.

Dr. Boustani used insight from Agile Science to develop the Indiana University Graduate Certificate in Innovation and Implementation Science. This one-year certificate is designed to coach and mentor a tightly linked network of change agents imbedded within their local healthcare systems. These change agents have an Agile Mindset and use agile innovation, agile implementation, and agile diffusion processes to transform their healthcare delivery organizations into agile organizations.
