Join us for breakfast on April 16 to talk to health tech leaders and influencers from the US, the UK and Australia. The speakers will compare notes on how COVID-19 induced innovation has varied between the countries, why, and what lessons there might be between countries that can be effectively shared. 

The hour-long webinar will focus particularly on:

  • How telehealth has rolled out in each country, the context of each rollout, and how it has impacted interoperability in each country
  • How cloud-based platforming is evolving in each country, what speakers think are the basics for open platforms and which way each country is going
  • What are the ‘new’ basics for technology led better outcomes given what has occurred during COVID
  • Consumer facing progress, especially by Apple, versus back end platform and integration progress, especially by Microsoft, Google and Amazon
  • The specific challenges faced by each country, how those challenges have been faced, what we think we’ve learned and whether that might be a learning across countries
  • What COVID may have exposed as likely dead ends in interoperability thinking

We also look forward to hearing from you. The panel discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A, so you will have the opportunity to participate in the conversation.

  • Grahame Grieve– Founder of FHIR, global interoperability consultant and principal of Health Intersections, Aus
