Digital disruption impacts every industry, and healthcare is no exception. Digital technologies are transforming the global healthcare landscape and driving healthcare towards better value by improving efficiency and quality and reducing costs. The Asia Pacific region has a highly fragmented healthcare market and its digital transformation is coming into its own. Approaches to digital health in different countries across the region differ widely. The opening plenary will explore how to fully grasp the benefits and potential of digital health: What is the current reality and future of digital health in the region? What are the drivers and barriers for the uptake and deployment of digital health? How can we take digital health to the next level?
