About the Conference
The Coronavirus pandemic has shaken the world, put health systems under severe stress, and added to the already existing pressures stemming from ageing populations and chronic diseases. Health systems are complex, often fragmented, and heavy with legacy.
To a great extent, they are still operating on a logic from an older era, built around treating acute illness and disease and have, therefore, been struggling to meet the needs stemming from today’s demographic, societal and technological developments.
The need to disrupt the system as we’ve known it is more imminent than ever, pushing towards a more inclusive, technologically savvy and holistically aware of the need for sustainability & breakthrough innovation Era. This means exploring forces of change, innovation and challenging the status quo and systemic models.
The R&D and Innovation in Healthcare Conference 2021 provides a forum for innovation experts from academia and industry to come together and debate a wide range of topics surrounding innovation, research management, technology and business models, market access, clinical trials development, regulatory processes, best practices, leadership, culture and strategy.
Structured in Q&A-based 55 min sessions, the conference is launching a new culture of debate and accountability in shaping public health and innovation policy in our country in an Era of Disruption.
