The future of Healthcare
Our healthcare systems (across the globe) are undergoing massive changes. Not only the rise of HealthTech but also advancements in business models are forcing healthcare organizations to adapt their ways of working. What’s the case for change in healthcare, how will technology impact the way we organize care and treat patients and most importantly how can you avoid missing out?
The Innovation Mindset
