The CataloniaBio & HealthTech Innovation Workgroup is holding a session entitled Boosting Digital Health Innovation on 17 February, in the framework of the Barcelona Tech Spirit initiative. 

The digital transformation in the healthcare arena is a fact, and it aims to improve research, treatment and prevention of diseases, quite clearly. Now, for many companies in the sector the challenge lies in the huge amount of knowledge being generated and the transversality this requires (administration, regulatory bodies, innovative medical technology and biotechnology start-ups, the pharmaceutical industry, healthcare professionals, patients, etc.).

In this regard, CataloniaBioHT plays a key role as the association that represents the life sciences and healthcare business world in Catalonia to identify opportunities and promote synergies and alliances that allow companies to adapt to emerging business models. This session will help understand what is and isn’t digital health and discover the main global trends, the resurgence of specific areas like Digital Therapeutics, new business models and the investor’s viewpoint when committing to these projects.

Welcome by Isabel Amat, Global Head of Innovation and Pipeline Management at Reig Jofre and CataloniaBioHT board member, and Melqui Calzado, General Secretary of CataloniaBioHT.
