Webinar: Rethinking Arabian Healthcare | Webinar 2/3 - Healthcare Technologies – from AI to smart tech, how innovation by ITP Media Group FZ LLC

About This Webinar

Coronavirus has put health care systems around the world under unprecedented pressure. Now, a three-part special webinar series hosted by Arabian Business will investigate what this means for the Arab world.

Supported by Edwards Lifesciences, the second in Arabian Business’ three-part webinar series Rethinking Arabian Healthcare will dive into the compelling question of Healthcare Technologies – from AI to smart tech, how innovation is reshaping the sector with experts and thought leaders from across the Gulf and internationally.

In a world focussed on data through ‘track and trace’ innovations, the live session moderated by Arabian Business Editor in Chief Scott Armstrong, on Wednesday 18 November at 2pm (GST), will examine how data can be shared and used to informed policy decisions, from a micro perspective on patient treatments to the macro picture of how we plan healthcare for populations.

Our panellists will also examine the rise of predictive monitoring and the importance of using technology to prevent harm, and digitalisation how can play an important role in aiding efficiencies. For example could heart failure patients be monitored remotely, allowing unnecessary hospital appointments to be avoided and rapid intervention made when it is really required?
