The digital health space refers to the integration of technology and health care services to improve the overall quality of health care delivery. It encompasses a wide range of innovative and emerging technologies such as wearables, telehealth, artificial intelligence, mobile health, and electronic health records (EHRs). The digital health space offers numerous benefits such as improved patient outcomes, increased access to health care, reduced costs, and improved communication and collaboration between patients and health care providers. For example, patients can now monitor their vital signs such as blood pressure and glucose levels from home using wearable devices and share the data with their doctors in real-time. Telehealth technology allows patients to consult with their health care providers remotely without having to travel to the hospital, making health care more accessible, particularly in remote or rural areas.

Sustained growth and projections for further expansion and use of electronic health records and health information infrastructure have stimulated economic growth in this quarter, extending to the eurozone.

Some states are looking to the Eurozone in countries such as Ireland to develop trade advantages for growth.  Boston has become known in the past decade for it’s interest in establishing a greater presence as a ‘startup’ region for young technology companies to rival Silicon Valley in California.

The effort includes HealthXL which is a three month boot camp in Dublin, to incubate 10 start-ups in the digital and technology space, but this year the focus will purely be on digital health ventures.

Patrick spoke about how everyone should have access to affordable and quality healthcare.
