  Healthcare Innovation

  India is at the convergence of powerful trends – the fastest growing digital economy, increased digital intensity in healthcare, new, aware & demanding healthcare consumers, and govt-NHA policies as influencers- all are collectively transforming the traditional Indian Healthcare Ecosystem. While convergence brings challenges for healthcare stakeholders, it opens the door for innovation to solve healthcare problems like never before. Innovation in healthcare brings new ideas, technologies, and services that improve the access & delivery of care, enhance patient and business outcomes, and result in better operational efficiency. It encompasses a broad spectrum of change. However, Healthcare Innovation requires collaborations among industry partners, technology developers, healthcare leaders, clinicians, and, most importantly, with the patients. Learn from top industry leaders from the US and India what innovation in healthcare means, why it is important, how it is run, collaboration strategies, and the value it brings for hospitals and health systems to stay competitive in the new health economy.

  Healthcare Investment

  Over the last decade and especially after the pandemic, healthcare across the globe has experienced explosive innovation, particularly in technology and tech-enabled healthcare services. Innovation is also creating value as digital health startups scale and mature, encouraging hospitals and health systems to get involved not just as users of technology, but also as investors. On the other hand, venture capital and private equity firms have also been an integral part of healthtech innovation. They offer unique business acumen and investing professionalism that hospitals as well as startups may lack in-house. Per the Rock Health’s latest 2023 annual funding report released at the recent J. P. Morgan Healthcare conference in January 2024, startups raised a total of $10.7 billion across 492 deals in 2023. At DHN Forum Mumbai, learn from India’s top VC fund leaders as well as the most successful hospital-led venture fund authority from the US on the variety of imperatives of healthtech investment, how it works, and what it takes to be successful in building out a strategic investment effort to support and adopt digital health innovation in India.
