MUNICH, OCTOBER 2023 | HEALTHCARE SUMMIT
The healthcare industry is expected to reach US$ 1.5 trillion by 2030, but the projected growth comes with an assortment of challenges for key industry contributors, who are struggling to meet contemporary demands.
Past models of infrastructure skew both new and skilled talent away from the market. The younger and more digitally inclined generation expects less hierarchy and more innovative systems, while the older generation struggles with digital engagement. As a result, business leaders are looking to challenge the status quo and establish efficient measures within the healthcare industry to create profit, enhance communication, and generate extraordinary experiences.
Our Healthcare Summit was a great opportunity to discuss pressing issues in the healthcare sector, explore advances in technology, data-driven insights, AI-driven solutions, and how they can augment the capabilities of healthcare professionals, enabling them to deliver higher-quality care and more.
As strategic partners, we assist global healthcare leaders in discovering and implementing market opportunities. We offer end-to-end digital coverage, in-depth data competence, and holistic digital expertise focused on the healthcare industry.
4 Key Insights From the Event
- AI strategies should be devised to encompass short-term, mid-term, and long-term perspectives. Both Narrow AI and Broad AI are expanding the horizon of possibilities across a diverse array of applications, such as enhancing efficiency and management in areas like cancer treatment, MRI image classification, personalized healthcare solutions, clinical data interpretation, and more
- The industry has observed a significant shift from reactive care to proactive preventative care, with a total valuation of approximately US$ 4 trillion. This transformation is driven by various key factors, such as the rise of biohacking, the thriving global supplement market (valued at over US$ 240 billion), a substantial surge in smartwatch sales, the doubling of the sports nutrition global market within just three years, and the significant impact of social sales on the healthcare market
- The Federal Act aimed at expediting the digitalization of the healthcare system is set to revolutionize the German healthcare market. This transformation will encompass the implementation of various digital tools, including electronic health records (ePA), e-prescriptions, the expansion of teleconsultations, and more
