About Richard Migliori
Richard Migliori, Executive Vice President and Senior Advisor at UnitedHealth Group, has spoken at multiple Digital Health Summit events at CES, where he discussed the company's technology investments and approach to healthcare. At CES 2014, Migliori stated that UnitedHealth Group spent "about two and a half billion dollars in emerging and stabilizing technologies" and said the company was "really starting to see the fruits of those year-over-year investments." He also said that "in order for us to serve America and to do it at the scale that we need to do it at an affordable price, we really should be turning to things that are already part of America's lifestyle." In a 2011 keynote address at the Stanford GSB Healthcare Summit, Migliori said that "healthcare reform brings us great promise" but "what it doesn't have to date is a pathway to sustainability and that sustainability is only going to come by the ability to manage costs." He also stated that "in this country, you are more likely to have your plan of care influenced by your zip code than the stage of your disease." At CES 2016, Migliori described UnitedHealth Group's role as organizing health systems, managing large volumes of data, and converting that data into useful information for consumers and providers. At CES 2017, he discussed the global burden of chronic disease, noting that 68% of the 56 million deaths worldwide in the prior year were from chronic diseases, with three-quarters of those occurring in low- to middle-income countries.
