Jane named one of the top 100 economist-influencers in the world

I’m honored and gobsmacked to be named to this list of the top 100 economist-influencers in the world. I’m #53 on this list, after gurus like Michael Porter, Paul Krugman, Jeff Sachs, Joseph Stiglitz, Ben Bernanke, et. al. Among the 100, there are 11 women economists of which I’m proud to be one.

Jane is thrilled to be a judge for the 2026 CES Innovation Awards for digital health, longevity, and fitness - 01/10/2026

I'm once again pretty gobsmackingly happy to have been named a judge for the 2026 CES Innovation Awards, focusing on digital health, longevity, and fitness. Preceding every year's global conference, CES receives hundreds of applications from innovators around the world building tech-based solutions to big challenges. So glad to be part of this annual initiative to see what global health-tech pioneers are cooking up to address and scale the health and well-being of fellow health citizens, globally. You can see the results of the Digital Health Awardees here on the #CES2026 website.

Jane will be collaborating at #CES2026 in January, embedded in digital health, aging well, and the home as health hub - 01/12/2026

Stay tuned to Health Populi in early January as I'll be attending Media Days and meeting with innovators in digital health, longevity, and the home-for-health during CES 2026 in Las Vegas. I'll be at the conference for an entire week meeting with clients and exhibitors at the biggest-meeting-of-the-year on consumer-facing technology. I'll be reporting daily from Vegas here in the blog, sharing with you insights about the latest breakthroughs, products, and services that enable people to manage health, well-being, and medical issues in their own hands and homes.

I loved collaborating on the Health Dame webcast led by Robin Strongin, featuring Halle Tecco and her new book along with Maven’s Founder and Chief Medical Office Kate Ryder and Dr. Neel Shah - 01/14/2026

Jane collaborated on Robin Strongin's Health Dame webcast to discuss Halle Tecco's new book, Massively Better Healthcare, due out in early 2026. We brainstormed with Maven Founder Kate Ryder and the company's Chief Medical Officer Dr. Neel Shah about the state of U.S. healthcare and solutions not just to tweak at the margins but to "massively" improve health care delivery, financing, outcomes, and equity in America. It was a delightful, enlightening conversation -- I hope you'll check it out.
