The Digital Revolution in Healthcare

EMBRACING TECH DISRUPTORS
Panel Session
Pavilion G, Conference Hall G4

Healthcare is one of the last industries to enter the digital revolution. This revolution has two aspects: one is improved organization of medical aid and the other is new treatment and diagnostic technologies. IT innovations are being used by medical organizations to streamline work, handle patients, and educate doctors and the public. So far, we have only learnt to collect and remotely transmit medical data and found out about mobile devices for patient follow-up. It is now time to take the next step: make mass use of IT for setting up an integrated, smart, efficient, and patient-focused healthcare model.
