e are lucky to be present at such a pivotal moment within healthcare. We learned many lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the vast collaboration and ingenuity that emerged from this once-in-a-generation event is not something we have to consign to the history books. Those who developed such technologies, from personal health to portable care, pharmaceutical technologies and diagnostics, data and record solutions,
were vital to getting through the pandemic, and now are enabling the healthtech industry to thrive like never before. The power of technology to revolutionise healthcare has already been proven, and it is now time to take the next steps. For this reason the HIMSS22 Europe conference, running from June 14th-16th 2022, is sure to be the bellwether of the best the healthtech industry has to offer. There is an urgent requirement for development, collaboration, and innovation, and
HIMSS22 Europe will provide a breadth of opportunities for operators from all sectors of the health ecosystem to become involved. On offer at the conference are interactive workshops, thought leadership summits, engagements with governmental speakers and key decision-makers, networking events, and in-person visits to hospitals and care centres; enabling attendees to get truly hands-on with the technology and to understand the real benefit within the population. With more than 120 total experts in the field appearing at the event, and more than 60 live sessions, there is truly something for everyone, from the newest startups to the biggest players in the field. Furthermore, many of these events are CPD accredited, making sure that attendees will be able to demonstrate their engagement with development in the field and a personal commitment to ensuring excellence within healthcare technology. 7
