Details
The next generation of breakthrough medical technologies will not begin with the technology itself, but with the healthcare challenges still waiting to be solved. Every day, clinicians, patients, health service leaders and investors encounter barriers that limit outcomes, create inefficiencies and leave critical needs unmet. These challenges represent Australia's greatest opportunities for medtech innovation. Bringing together diverse perspectives from across the healthcare ecosystem, this forward-looking discussion explores the unmet needs that matter most, the solutions the health system is ready to embrace, and where the next generation of globally successful Australian medtech companies will emerge.
