HBI 2022: Home care drastically reduces healthcare costs

“Healthcare professionals spend a lot of time on unnecessary activities,” explained Chris Malone, UK managing director at remote patient monitoring digital health company Luscii, to the Expanding Care at Home panel at HBI 2022. Both of the session's panellists presented cases for how moving towards providing a lot more clinical care in people’s homes, rather than in hospitals and clinics, aided by the use of the latest digital tools, can be used to tackle this issue.

HBI 2022: How to tackle the primary care capacity crisis

Primary care is facing major capacity issues across multiple European countries, but digital innovations are already shaking up the sector. Speakers at the Primary Care Plus session at HBI 2022 explained how a digital and data-enabled move away from synchronous care can free up clinicians' precious time.

HBI 2022: ESG important for property investors as well

Property investors have become increasingly attracted to healthcare assets in recent years, driven by a juicy combination of low risk and high yields. But recent scandals have highlighted the reputational risks of the sector, which property investors are not entirely immune from, and so a focus on ESG that goes beyond energy efficiency requirements for buildings has become essential.

HBI 2022: Rosy future for dentistry, despite resurfacing threats

Pre-Covid, dentistry was seen as one of the hot tickets of healthcare services, largely unconsolidated, and attracting huge interest, not least from private equity. Covid took its toll but as the threat from the pandemic recedes in Europe, the focus has shifted back onto the opportunities in the sector – and onto other, longer-lasting problems like staffing, training, and the threat of recession. Despite these threats, according to a panel at HBI 2022, the future for the sector looks bright.

HBI 2022: Resilient fertility a “ridiculously positive market”

Resilient, recession-proof fertility has a strong future ahead, but will face some challenges in the coming months according to an HBI 2022 panel. Demand is strong, patients came back quickly when clinics - and borders - reopened, and the threat of recession is not causing anyone to lose sleep. 

HBI 2022: Panel sees a rosy future for ophthalmology

Ophthalmology continues to be a big area of investor interest, with considerable scope for consolidation in both healthcare services and also medical devices. As governments in the UK, Finland and parts of Eastern Europe in particular continue to increase outsourcing, the potential to unlock additional private pay services is increasing, and upselling of more complex lenses is on the rise. An expert panel convened at HBI 2022 to discuss the opportunities and challenges in the post-pandemic landscape.

HBI 2022: Balance of power in MENA is shifting

There is a risk, when looking at healthcare markets in MENA, of lumping all the countries together as one - but each market has very specific requirements, and very specific characteristics. A panel at HBI 2022 chaired by Hamid Yunis, partner at global law firm McDermott Will & Emery, investigated challenges and opportunities in the region - and how rapidly the markets are changing and why overseas players now need to work harder to impress.
