Overview
Patrick Zanayed joins the ATA EDGE 2025 Policy Conference as a speaker on the “Debating Private Sector Investment in Healthcare: Innovation vs. Oversight in the Digital Health Era” panel on December 10, 2025. As private equity, tech giants, and non-traditional players expand their footprint in healthcare, the long-standing debate around the corporate practice of medicine is being reignited—with digital health at the center. This high-energy session brings together policymakers, industry leaders, and state health officials to debate the benefits and risks of private sector investment in care delivery. Should states enact stricter guardrails to preserve medical autonomy and patient protections, or are new models driving needed innovation and access?
Featuring perspectives from companies like Amazon, alongside legislative voices behind bills like Oregon’s recent proposal, this debate will tackle one of the most consequential and controversial questions shaping the future of virtual care.
