We are celebrating the first year of Digital Health & Wearables Series. Digital health is an exciting area to consider if you’re in the healthcare space. This is a very exciting time for wearable technologies, but there’s also a lot of work that needs to be done in this sphere. It’s not about being one thing or another — it’s about finding the right balance between consumer-centric and product-centric approaches to digital health.
When João created the YouTube Channel – Digital Health & Wearables, his vision and aspiration was to create the biggest and best healthcare channel in the world. By leveraging his outstanding global networks, João was able to bring together the world’s leading voices in Digital Healthcare Innovation. From Academia, to Public Health, Influencers, Technology Brands, Innovators , Pharma Leadership and even Patient Advocates. We are extremely delighted to this amazing first year, and now João has a very tall task at his hands – to maintain this extremely high standard of guests profiles going forward. Although we are more than certain that we are providing very rich content to all Healthcare industry Stakeholders and João will once again deliver excellence in 2022 and beyond.
