Managing Director of the NHS Covid-19 app

DiGAs and DiPAs are considered as one of the biggest breakthroughs in the digitalization of the German healthcare system. But for a lot of companies, some quite important questions remain unanswered:

  • How can you benefit from this trend as an established Medtech or Pharma company?

  • What is the best approach when developing new digital offerings?

  • What (regulatory) obligations and risks need to be considered?

  • What are the most promising business cases?

  • How can you ensure a successful collaboration with innovative ‘Tech’ partners?

To answer questions like these, it is helpful to have an experienced partner who approaches digital health innovation holistically.
