The changing digital health landscape

According to my taxi driver, HLTH was the second-largest conference in Vegas two weeks ago (the largest was a meeting of Marijuana growers). Over 10,000 people swarmed the Venetian to talk about everything from telemedicine to cancer testing (and maybe attend a panel while there).

It was a far cry from the digital health events of 10 years ago when a few hundred people would meet at a hotel in San Francisco. As someone who remembers when we still had to convince people that smartphones were essential tools for care, here are five takeaways/observations about where we are today with digital health.

As a doctor founded, patient-focused company, Doctor Care Anywhere plc (ASX:DOC) believe that happy doctors mean happy patients. It’s a virtuous circle and one that we’ve built a great team to help keep going.
