The key topics in 2015
Strategic implementation is one of the key themes at Digital Health Days this year. Getting the first users and funding is often hard and then comes the challenge of managing to grow the business in a satisfactory way. What are the barriers and are there lessons to be learnt by others, and who is responsible for a more efficient uptake of innovations?
The next key theme is Sustainability for Digital Health products and services – as It is tied to business models that are both complex and diverse. While investments in the US exceeded $1.9B with 195 venture deals in 2013 there is still hesitation from non-US investors on how the ROI will be achieved, and existing companies are having a hard time getting in the revenues needed for growth. For established players such as the pharma industry the question is rather how digital health fits in the current business models used.
The Patient in focus – the most appreciated theme in 2014 is of course central also this year. E-patient Dave´s thoughtful talk shared on YouTube was discussed on Twitter hashtag #dhd14 and peaked with 2000+ tweets. Now the patient comes back and we will discuss topics such as health and wellbeing, patients as selective customers, citizens and their role in the healthcare system as well as who owns patient generated data.
