Digital Health will be the major driver of healthcare in the future – and this includes the medical technology industry. Healthcare is transitioning at the moment, with digital products requiring a rethink of innovation processes and business models. One major issue is the increasing patient centricity of the entire value-added chain.  

Convinced of its pivotal role, we chose to focus on this topic and have made it the central theme of Swiss Medtech Day this year. The event is designed to highlight and understand the key role of medical technology in the digitalisation of healthcare.
