Are you asking the right questions?

How do you know if you have mastered the nuances of health tech that is faced with a variety and complexity of combination products and pharmaceutical regulatory systems?

How do you know if you are delivering connected systems that protect your patients’ data security to ensure privacy and prevent misuse?

Let’s face it, innovation in healthcare is as exciting as it is risky. And we’ve got you covered on both fronts. High-level expertise and forward-looking guidance on combination products and connected healthcare is on its way to Indiana, an emerging hub for breakthrough pharma innovation.

A roadmap to successful patient care needs a comprehensive and systematic approach to connected health at a scale that considers the entire healthcare ecosystem, from patients to healthcare providers, regulators, and insurance companies. As the shift of healthcare from hospital to home continues, there are also opportunities for digital solutions to leave a positive impact on the environmental footprint. Also, as more injectable drugs will be administered at patients’ homes, the opportunity for the industry to facilitate and improve processes is manifold.

Here's What's at Stake
  • Connected solutions have the potential to empower patients to manage their diagnosis and treatments more effectively.
  • Connected healthcare solutions can reduce the burden for healthcare professionals, resulting in increased efficiency.
  • The need for a comprehensive and systematic approach to combination products that accounts for the entire healthcare ecosystem.
  • The shift of healthcare from hospital to home opens the need for solutions that improve patient outcomes and have a positive impact on the environmental footprint.
