Sebastian F. Winter, MD PhD speaks on brain health policy, governance and responsible innovation, bringing experience across healthcare and academia, the World Health Organization, patient advocacy, and neurotechnology.
Brain health as a global policy priority. Translating global commitments into national and local action to improve patient outcomes and population health, while advancing brain health across sectors to strengthen societal resilience and cohesion.
Responsible neurotechnology & ecosystem building. Evidence, anticipatory governance, and public value in the development and adoption of emerging medical and consumer technologies.
AI in neurology and brain health. Opportunities, limitations and implications for health systems and policy.
I provide expert input to reports, policy briefs and strategy documents through interviews, focused consultations and reviews of draft materials. Areas include health policy, AI and neurotechnology governance, and responsible innovation.
Keynotes, moderated panels and academic lectures. Based in Berlin; available virtually and for selected engagements internationally.
