EVERYTHING IoT
Healthcare & Wellbeing Forum 2019
Showcasing Australia's Healthcare Innovation
ABOUT THE FORUM
Australia’s healthcare system is considered to be one of the best in the world, but pressures driven by an ageing population and increasing demand for specialised care is causing costs to rise unsustainably faster than economic growth. IoT connectivity has been identified to increase productivity, efficiency, and precision in the healthcare and wellbeing sector, with outstanding economic benefits. Together, our world-class healthcare system and digital innovation place Australia in a competitive advantage to revolutionise healthcare on a global scale.
Everything IoT’s Healthcare & Wellbeing Forum provides an in-depth examination of the state of Healthcare in Australia from a global perspective, drawing upon the professional experiences of keynote speakers and panellists. At this event, you can expect an all-rounded representation of entrepreneurs, corporate executives, Government bodies, researchers, and investors who are actively engaged with the future of health and wellbeing.
