This week delegates from around the world descended on London for HBI 2019 to discuss the healthcare market and its various sub-sectors. Here are the things we learnt:
US virtual care provider Teladoc now claims to be France's biggest telehealth provider, after another acquisition on Tuesday - and hints that more deals may follow.
Today, telehealth delivers up to 7% of all primary care in Europe. What of tomorrow? Major providers say they want to provide up to 80%, but is that realistic? HBI examines the evidence and speaks to a telehealth startup making impressive inroads.
You would hope that decisions about treatment pathways for patients are made with outcomes in mind – albeit tempered with the realism that having a finite budget brings to the table. This is not always the case.
Brazil's Federal Medical Council (CFM) has re-banned telemedicine just 19 days after it unbanned the practice. A well-connected source says it could take many months for the resolution to pass afresh.
CEE's largest lab company Diagnostyka has partnered with digital symptom checker Infermedica in a bid to capture patient flows and leverage the data it collects.
