The Global Digital Health Summit is about the path-breaking work happening at the intersection of healthcare and technology: the disruption happening in the field of medicine and the healthcare industry as a broad domain, including the pharmaceutical sector.

The practice of medicine will be the same in the next one to two years. Changes are happening on the diagnostics front, the line of treatment, the treatment itself, the platforms that patients, doctors, and researchers use, and even the type of medical devices used for treatment. With Software being approved as a Drug (SaaD) and Software being approved as a Medical Device (SaMD), it is time for all of us to get together at the Global Digital Health Summit and discuss with the world's top Mavericks, Innovators, and Disruptors about their groundbreaking work at the intersection of technology and healthcare, and to ideate the plan as to how we can become future ready; which is now clear that those who don't use technology will not remain in the field of Healthcare - that sad but that's true, and we must not close our eyes to the reality to what has already arrived. Today, patients know more about technology than practicing doctors. Research shows that 6 out of 10 patients know about technology-driven healthcare, and 2 out of 10 doctors know about it. This is a severe gap, and the doctors and the industry need to get to speed to bridge the divide.

Now the time is over for thinking or talking about Digital Health, it's about doing, and now! This summit is about how you can implement digital health in your practice and your company, and you will find that the range of discussions happening is about operationalizing digital health in your practice and your organization; these two days could be a life-changing experience, and since the Sumit happens once a year, I hope that you will not miss out this fantastic opportunity to join us and meet with leaders who have driven this change across the world. Make friends, connections, collaborations, and clients, and talk together to be at the forefront of change.

I would personally request those who are at the forefront of driving change and those who wish to remain the leaders in healthcare to attend. This is strictly for those who want to stay ahead in their professional journey and the field of healthcare. With limited seats left, I request you share this with your friends in senior roles in healthcare; those will decide on the next phase of transformation.

I promise you that the value you get from the summit will be life-changing. You can take back things to implement immediately, meet some amazing people, learn from their knowledge, and get inspired to lead the change.

If you are a change-maker, meet me at the Jio World Convention Centre on October 4th/5th, 2024.
