Start-ups are facilitating digitization in healthcare
Creative start-ups are playing an important role in the digitization of healthcare and particularly in the field of wearables. A special “platform” will be dedicated to such companies for the first time at the MEDICA 2017 with the new MEDICA START-UP PARK. About 40 start-ups will showcase their products on 5,380 square feet in Hall 15. “The company founders and their small teams of developers are simply bubbling with ideas. What they need is a boost. That is why MEDICA will be connecting them with potential business partners, investors and sales partners from around the world,” says Dr Claudio Bucchi, the MEDICA team's trend scout and the Project Manager responsible for the MEDICA START-UP PARK.
Everybody must work together to succeed

So there are many innovations with the potential to advance the digitization of healthcare for the benefit of patients. And proper information for all those involved is essential to ensuring that patients do actually benefit from progress being made in the fields of medicine. Patients are already embracing the digital revolution. A recent survey by Deloitte and Bitkom revealed that more than 90% of respondents are sharing their health data from their mobile devices with their physicians. And how are physicians responding? “It is up to the medical profession to openly explore the new opportunities that are being opened up by digital innovations and to indicate their interest to the established suppliers of medical infrastructure solutions for practices and clinics, “says Christian Stammel. MEDICA 2017 will be the place for all professionals working in the health sector to get up to date.
The full day program of the international MEDICA CONNECTED HEALTHCARE FORUM in Hall 15 will provide insights into the full range of relevant digital developments that are destined to fundamentally change the world of healthcare across all its sectors. Here, wearables will not only become an important aspect of the Internet of things but also and especially of medical care.
