Australia – Hyper-Hybridity

Digital healthcare, a globally booming market, has been catalyzed by the events of COVID-19. In Asia Pacific, in particular, a rapidly expanding population, an empowered and tech-savvy middle class and physician shortage has created the perfect conditions for digital health innovation.
 

A new era of digital healthcare innovation looms on the horizon where there is now greater imperative to develop future-proof digital health solutions and systems in a "next-generation" ecosystem that channels hybridity and multi-functionality.
 

Baker McKenzie's newest report, Hyper-Hybridity: Defining a New Era of Digital Health Innovation in Asia Pacific, explores challenges, priorities and potential collaboration pathways in digital health from the perspective of over 700 professionals in the ecosystem from three main groups — healthcare and life sciences organizations, technology companies and investors.

• Digital health technologies in development and priorities for next-generation solutions
   

• Opportunities for financial and strategic investors in digital health in the region
   

• How ecosystems players can effectively join forces to overcome barriers to innovation
