The wider summit agenda also includes sessions on securing contracts with healthcare enterprises, healthcare investment trends, the regulatory landscape’s influence on digital health, reinventing clinical trials via digital health tech, value-based care transformation, integrating healthtech and fintech to improve affordability, and incentivizing healthy behaviors. The event concludes by presenting the 2024 Digital Healthcare Innovator Award.
