It’s hard to believe that we are more than half-way through the year already. Although the Medtech Rising CEO Conference, 4-5 December, may seem an age away, but the reality is that we’ll all be in Galway in no time! That’s why we wanted to give you a heads-up, places are selling fast and the hotel is almost booked out already. Last year’s event sold out, so book your tickets now if you’re keen to come along. We’ve already lined-up leading business executives and key opinion leaders to give insights on this year’s Medtech Rising theme, which is the digital transformation of healthcare services.
Digital Health Revolutionising Healthcare
Healthcare Spending in the OECD grew an estimated 2.5% in 2017, with increased demand for services, ageing populations and the rise of chronic disease putting pressure on health systems. Digital health is revolutionising healthcare with more personalised technologies and healthcare solutions. Hospitals account for 40% of health spending, but digital health empowers patients and helps them get on the right care pathways. It’s our ambition to make Ireland a go-to-destination of choice for digital health and we’re uniquely placed to become a leader in this field with 9 of the world’s top ten medtech companies, 10 of the top 10 tech companies and 10 of the top 10 biopharma companies all having a base here.
With sales of €15.7 billion forecast in digital health by 2024, it’s an attractive area to drive innovation and transform healthcare. We’ve amazing opportunities to help your business get ahead by deepening your knowledge of digital healthcare at Medtech Rising on topics such as Digital Transformation in Delivering Integrated Healthcare with amazing keynote including; such as
