Together We Make DIGITAL HEALTH Accessible” is a joint international initiative inspired by the need for further collaboration in the healthcare sector. It aims to encourage the connection among innovative healthcare ecosystems worldwide, stimulate knowledge exchange and open new business opportunities. COVID-19 has shown us that it’s the right time to work together for more effective and sustainable healthcare systems based on data and technology, and accessible digital health solutions could be the right tool.
The initiative’s kick-off was a virtual event “Together We Make DIGITAL HEALTH Accessible,” organized by the US-Bulgarian Chamber in America and Digital Health and Innovation Cluster Bulgaria. This one-hour and a half event was held this Tuesday (November 16, 2021).
The event offered useful insights for the digital health transformation process and some of the technological tools, initiated from Bulgaria for building a sustainable and efficient healthcare system based on data and technology.
We are convinced that the US market can benefit from emerging digital health solutions, starting from Bulgaria, and through constructive and focused collaboration together we can make DIGITAL HEALTH accessible.
