Digital health has been one of the hottest terms of the last decade and will be even more so in the future. Digital health technologies can empower consumers to make informed choices about their own health and provide new options to health care professionals in terms of disease prevention, diagnosis and management. This is providing new opportunities to MedTech companies and other stakeholders in the field, but also implies many challenges: regulatory, data governance, market access, technical, legal, ethical, etc.
The committee involves 310+ members from 85+ MedTech companies (large MNCs, SMEs, start-ups), organised in 4 working groups with the following objectives:
- Cybersecurity to raise awareness on the need of harmonized policy frameworks for cybersecurity.
- Interoperability to raise awareness on the need of a unique set of standards to allow interoperability.
- Regulatory to develop regulatory measures that support digital health.
- Reimbursement to establish optimal reimbursement schemes for digital health solutions.
- To work together on transversal and strategic topics in APAC, investigating how digital health is changing the role of the physician, impacting the patient journey, their access to care, and the establishment of new partnerships.
Valued at US$ 181.8 billion in 2020 and predicted to grow to US$ 551.1 billion by 2027, the global digital health market is growing at a CAGR of 16.5%
