Collaborating for Digital Health and Care in Europe

Innovation Initiative Virtual Meeting

webinar

Webinar Focus

Given today’s situation in which health systems, and especially hospitals, need to manage ever more knowledge and increasing amount of data, they are faced with a number of challenges. These relate to e.g., increasing clinical benefits, providing treatment in a variety of locations (in the hospital itself, in new forms of hospitals, at home), and involving health and care staff effectively in the changes occurring.  

The objectives of this first webinar on digital therapeutics and care at home are to:

• explore how, throughout Europe, care is shifting from the hospital to the home,
• explore what digital therapeutics has to offer in terms of this paradigm shift, and
• identify in what ways AI and digital therapeutics work together.
