With increased life expectancy and ageism in the future, this brings significant challenges for healthcare providers and demands to transform healthcare delivery across providers, moving care beyond the hospital, to the community.
Populations in smart cities like Singapore and the Nordic region are facing similar healthcare challenges in ageing and chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, mental health and cardiovascular diseases. They are constantly developing innovative healthtech solutions (management, prevention, intervention and rehabilitation) to address these challenges and to provide more efficient, affordable and better quality care to match the needs of the fast-expanding silver economy. Hence, enhancing integrated care systems focused on the primary care and community is key for future health and health care transformation.
Join us to learn more about healthcare beyond hospitals to the communities, key challenges, market opportunities and future-ready healthcare innovations applicable in Singapore and in the Nordic countries. And not to be missed – Nordic Showcase by the selected companies in this programme!
