FRONTIERS HEALTH 2020

Frontiers Health emerged over the last years as one of the premier global events on digital health and innovation in healthcare. In the last five years, the conference has turned into a unique platform for deal making, networking and learning in the industry and has been repeatedly defined as “home to the digital health ecosystem”, gathering thousands of innovators, leaders and key players from the health industry each year in Berlin and in other locations across the world.

Given the circumstances, the format of the 2020 edition will be hybrid combining online global streaming together with offline events and activities held at Local Hubs in multiple locations such as Italy, Germany, Finland, Malta, Spain, Switzerland and USA all streamed globally too.

The conference will be dedicated to the digital health innovation in the context of the ‘new normal’ focusing on telemedicine, digital therapies, breakthrough technologies, patient-centricity, healthcare transformation, investments and ecosystem development.
