Healthzilla rocks a Panel Discussion on Health Innovation

Healthzilla’s CTO Aki Ranin was invited to speak at the Health Innovation by Design event in Singapore in April 2019. The event was organised by Academy Xi https://academyxi.com/ and covered the following topics:

  • How does the intersection of health, design and technology drive innovation in healthcare

  • What are the regulatory requirements for healthcare, and who is gatekeeping? 

  • What role do large tech companies like Apple play in the world of health data? 

  • Will artificial intelligence improve or destroy the health system?

About the event:

‘Health Innovation’ is a hot topic right now, but what does it actually mean??
Access to healthcare is a fundamental human need. The rise of digital health technology from electronic medical records to personal health apps has created great improvements in how appointments are made, how information is shared and how medicines are dispensed. However, the human experience of healthcare for patients and clinicians alike has further room for improvement. 

With large tech companies like Apple and Amazon moving aggressively into the health space and patients becoming more aware of their role in their own healthcare; how does the intersection of health, design and technology benefit patients and clinicians? Has the groundswell in technology solutions improved safety and quality of care?
