Lately, in the field of life science healthcare, not only is there an increase in the collaboration between medicine, engineering, and pharmacology, but also an increase in cooperation across the industrial, academic, and government sectors.
More and more, the evolving synergies between ICT, IoT, big data, and AI has expanded the future possibilities in the industry.
Meanwhile, the demand for medical innovations is ever increasing; not only to extend healthy living (QOL), but also to improve healthcare financing programs.
This year’s forum will discuss the latest trends in co-creation ( networking and diversified collaboration) within the life science and healthcare fields, as well as the ways to break through the barriers hindering the implementation of innovations, to the benefit of society.
