The Digital Health Innovation Programme
20 November 2018
Digital Health is one of the fastest growing segments within the healthcare industry. The total market in 2017 was estimated by BMJ to be £ 19 Billion with investments of more than £ 5 Billion globally. However, innovators are often faced with challenges around accelerating innovation, scaling ideas, go-to-market strategy, and transforming organisational DNA.
GIANT brings you a new 1-day immersive training programme specially designed for innovation leaders and their teams in pharmaceuticals, consumer healthcare companies, as well as founders and their teams of seed and Series A companies interested to pursue the Digital Health market.
Our faculty has designed a mix of lecture sessions, hands-on activities and panel discussions that will provide healthcare leaders and their teams with skills and know-how that can be used to assess, implement, and scale opportunities.
Seats are limited to ensure an engaging and immersive programme and are on first-come-first serve basis.

Workshop Agenda
- Digital Health: Past, Present and Future
Introduction to Digital Health, its evolution, opportunities and its impact both locally and internationally. Exclusive “state of the union” report will be presented. - Areas of OpportunityMeaningful Digital Health approaches require a deep understanding of patients' needs and experience. We will explore three categories namely Disease Prevention & Wellbeing, Chronic Disease Management and Technology Developments.
We will explore and deep dive into the worlds of digital therapeutics, digital biomarkers, wearables and sensors, smartphone apps and Augmented & Virtual Reality. - Commercialising and business models
Building a successful Digital Health product or service requires new ways of commercialisation given the software/hardware/service mixture disrupting the traditional business models. In this section we will also explore the regulatory and legal aspects of bringing a Digital Health product or service to market. - Exclusive "Innovation Showcase"
Lively discussions with select panelists, followed by close and personal experience of selected Digital Health products and services that are redefining healthcare.
There will be opportunities to network through the day leading up to the networking dinner where the delegates will be joined by selected innovation leaders from the GIANT Health Event.
