EIT Health Morning Health Talks, 18 June 2021. Virtual event.
Digitalization of healthcare can be carried out through different approaches: top-down, centralized, major investment-backed activities that will enforce and support all relevant actors to digitalize in a short period of time, or bottom-up initiatives that go slower, based on the needs of patients, doctors, and other healthcare stakeholders.
Which one is better, and what learnings can we take from other countries' healthcare digitalization experience, such as the USA and Portugal? And what implications does the digitalization of healthcare have for patients, creators and providers of health or other data?
