Abstract
Over the past decade, digital health technologies have been ever increasing in number and funding – with real opportunity to improve patient outcomes and practice efficiencies. This session highlights the changing role in healthcare – shifting from reactive to proactive, from sick care to health care system and shares a vision of Connected Care, a vision in which the electronics sector has a huge role to play. It outlines what is required to bring this vision to life, addresses the readiness of global markets for the adoption of new technologies and discusses how conscious collaboration between providers, payers, clinicians and other sectors can catalyse the move from vision to reality.
