Global Engage is pleased to announce the inaugural Digital Health Congress, which will be held on November 30-1 December in London, UK. The conference is part of the successful personalised medicine series which includes the Digital Pathology Congresses, qPCR & Digital PCR Congresses and Precision Medicine Congress.
Innovations in healthcare and medicine are increasing at an exponential rate. Last year the digital health industry expanded more than ever before. Electronic health records, telemedicine and more sophisticated and reliable monitoring devices are increasing connectivity between patients and physicians which in turn is creating exciting new opportunities in diagnosis, care and rehabilitation. Developments in the field have posed new questions and challenges regarding business models, regulation, adoption and implementation within existing systems as well as management of big data. With $4.1 billion going into funding digital health start-ups in 2014 this area will only continue to grow as population growth and lifestyle choices put greater pressure on healthcare systems and patients are given greater access to their own health data.
