The Digital Healthcare Innovation Summit (DHIS) is back in full force, and its participants have a lot to share after two years of Covid-forced changes in healthcare and the ever-flowing investment into this field. The pandemic has accelerated various aspects of healthcare, including virtual/hybrid primary and specialty care, but it has also further exposed health inequity and the need for further change. These lingering issues are the essence of DHIS and the reason our audience wants to gather again. Join other leading innovators, investors, payers, providers and policymakers as we continue to help revolutionize healthcare by creating an intimate atmosphere for sharing insights and networking that helps drive innovation!
