About Gary Tankard
Gary Tankard delivered a keynote address to graduates of an unnamed institution on September 17, 2024. During the speech, he discussed the impact of the fourth and fifth industrial revolutions on healthcare, citing examples such as artificial intelligence detecting skin cancer at a 95% rate and the internet of medical things enabling real-time patient monitoring. He described the fifth industrial revolution as a "cognitive age" driven by AI models like GPT, which he called "cognitive partners" that will redefine societal structures. Tankard encouraged graduates to "embrace innovation" and "challenge the norms" in healthcare, and he advised them to "choose love" over fear. He also stated that success requires "grit, determination, and the willingness to endure challenges," and that "it's about how long you are willing to stay in the race." The transcript noted that Tankard holds a master's degree in Business Administration from the State University of New York at Buffalo and a Bachelor of Science in medical technology from the same institution, and that he is a member of the American College of Healthcare Executives.
