why does this matter?

If you still think product and not platform: Think Again.

Digital Platforms and their associated Ecosystems are the new healthcare markets.

In healthcare, they combine a variety of services and vendors under one virtual care platform. The end objective is to offer end-to-end experiences, from cure to care to wellbeing.

Platforms have become one of the most important business models of the 21st century. They represent a new business order where competition is less important than having a network of privileged partnerships.

...

The race is on

Big, Small, everybody wants to join or orchestrate their own ecosystems

Something is for sure: the winners will take (almost) all.

Digital health businesses must adapt to this new constellation.

What is your ecosystem strategy?
Which role you should play and how do you monetize?
How can digital health companies get started in platform business?

JOIN us in this track and hear how some companies are already harnessing the power of platform business models, while avoiding some of the negative consequences.

Our speakers are a mixed group of market leaders and innovative start-ups. Examples will come from different pathways (clinical workflows, patient pathways) and different maturity stages.
