The session covered strategies for improving efficiency, access and patient outcomes within the public health system.
Healthtech Investment in the Post-COVID Era: The panel discussion delved into the challenges and opportunities of successfully raising healthtech investment and adapting to the "new normal" in funding landscapes. The session involved discussions on investor appetite, emerging trends and strategies for startups to secure capital.
Scaling Life Sciences Companies in the UK: Another key panel focused on how to unlock more "UK champions" within the life sciences sector, addressing the navigation to scale for these companies. The session included topics including regulatory hurdles, market access, talent acquisition and infrastructure support.
The future of Artificial Intelligence – driving inclusive AI in health technology: The session focused on the transformative power of AI in healthcare with a specific emphasis on ensuring how AI's development and deployment can be ethical, equitable and benefit a wide range of patient populations. Discussions during the session included data privacy, algorithmic bias and the responsible integration of AI into clinical practice.
The Future of Care (Technology's Role): The panel addressed whether and how technology will revolutionise the future of care covering remote monitoring, telehealth, digital therapeutics and automation in care delivery.
