Patient-centric solutions, digital health technologies, value-based delivery models; over the past decade we have witnessed how innovation across life sciences and healthcare is accelerating, most notably with the advancement of digital health and frontier technologies. However, to enhance the benefits of digital health technologies for population health and wellbeing and address emerging issues around governance, ethics and security, we need increased and better digital cooperation in the health and life sciences sector.
