Talking HealthTech

In this episode of Talking HealthTech, Pete hosts The Beat podcast at HLTH Europe 2024 in Amsterdam.

In this episode of Talking HealthTech, here a handful of the conversations recorded for The Beat, including Paula Bellostas Muguerza, Senior Partner and Global Healthcare & Life Sciences Practice Leader at Kearney, Rowland Illing, Chief Medical Officer at AWS, and Richard Stubbs, Chair of the Health Innovation Network and Chief Executive of Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber.

In these discussions, explore the intricacies of building healthcare solutions, focusing on health equity, the transformative power of digital pathways, and the critical role of innovation and collaboration in advancing healthcare.

Key Takeaways

• Health Equity and Diverse Populations: Building healthcare solutions must prioritise health equity, particularly for communities of need and diverse demographics. Innovators must ensure AI solutions are built without inherent biases and put patients at the centre.
• Digital Pathways: Embracing digital pathways can optimise resources, allowing more face-to-face care for those requiring it. However, it’s crucial to recognise that healthcare solutions are not one-size-fits-all.
• Role of the Health Innovation Network: The network plays a pivotal role in navigating the NHS and translating innovative ideas into real-life healthcare solutions, emphasising collaboration across various sectors.
• Cloud Technology in Healthcare: There is an obvious shift towards cloud technology, providing enhanced security, resilience, and high-performance computing to healthcare providers while supporting both large organisations and startups.
• Addressing Gender Inequity in Healthcare: There are systemic challenges in women's health, including delays in diagnosis and lack of investment. change is needed in five key areas: reproductive health, brain health, heart health, autoimmune disease, and cancer.
• Collaborative Innovation: Success in healthcare innovation hinges on collaborative efforts among regulators, policymakers, pharma companies, innovators, academia, and the public, focusing on resolving issues in both developed and lower middle-income countries.
