This was my first time attending the HLTH conference, and it was notable for its forward-leaning edge. The exhibits featured very few legacy interoperability players and EHR’s, rather the landscape seemed to be dominated by the value-based care ecosystem or patient engagement, payer technology, digital health enablers, and other similar companies and organizations. It was refreshing and a reminder that innovation in our industry – and transformational change – is well on its way. - Jitin Asnaani, VP of strategy and corporate development for Bamboo Health

"We heard from healthcare organizations across the industry about unifying their digital and consumer strategies. The pandemic greatly accelerated adoption of new technology and processes to reach and serve consumers, but now providers and payers are looking at how to make them work together in a synchronized way that can add strategic value instead of just adapting to COVID. There are a number of technologies that address pieces of the digital patient experience, but creating a coordinated journey is still a challenge for many, so they’re looking for platforms that can manage interactions across tools and channels." - Greg Miller, vice president of industry strategy, healthcare and life sciences at Talkdesk

“One major theme from #HLTH2021 was how the healthcare ecosystem needs to put more emphasis on patients. Reducing the cost of care and enabling better outcomes can be achieved through innovation that personalizes monitoring, alerting and treatment, engaging patients in their recovery plan. One specific approach is through technology that enables care-at-home programs across the continuum, inclusive of patient engagement resources like questionnaires, reminders and 24x7 clinical support.” - Sheeza Hussain, chief commercial officer of Biofourmis
