HealthTech

Missed appointments, long wait times, and all manner of other logistical and financial issues have become more common in our healthcare landscape. AI-driven HealthTech has the ability to improve our patient outcomes, drive efficiency and deliver unprecedented medical breakthroughs. With smartphone cameras being used as heart rate monitors, and contact lenses measuring blood sugar levels we are moving into an era when we can all collect healthcare data about ourselves. There is massive potential for AI healthcare technologies to create stable long-term population health outcomes. We are at a transformational moment for dealing with our Health. It is crucial leaders in the sector gain the skills and capabilities necessary to understand HealthTech and build new technologies, and this important work is not left solely to digital teams.
