The use of modern technologies and digital services is not only changing the way we communicate, they also offer us innovative ways for monitoring our health and well-being.

By innovating in digital health and care we can support our ambition towards reducing inefficiencies in healthcare delivery, improving access, reducing costs, increasing quality of care, making our health services more person-centred, personalising medicine for each patient's unique needs. It gives people the opportunity to be provided with "smart care" in a homely environment so that they could live in an independent style.

This event will draw young professionals across Healthcare, Technology, Pharmaceutical & Medical industry, and beyond to confront the most challenging dilemmas in healthcare -- and uncover new solutions. Digitalisation in Health will warmly welcome senior leaders from three major healthcare companies -- Orion Health, Mercy Radiology and Vensa Health -- that explore best practices, deliver practical tools, and disseminate useful information to industry professionals around the topic of Digital tech in healthcare.

Food and drinks are provided.

Dress code: Business Causal.
