Tech Giants, Start-ups or Incumbents, who will disrupt healthcare?

About this Meeting

‘Apple Watch might be able to track blood sugar and alcohol levels’,  ‘Microsoft puts AI at heart of digital health strategy with Nuance deal’, ‘Amazon Web Services looks to digital health with new accelerator’ ‘Google AI tool can help patients identify skin conditions’. 

 Do any of these headlines sound familiar? Tech giants are clearly keen on transforming healthcare - they have the tech expertise and a large customer base. We are certainly witnessing positive steps towards the much needed transformation of the healthcare system. However, really big disruptions are yet to happen. What needs to happen to make this systemic change? And will Tech Giants lead this disruption? Or will it be start-ups or other stakeholders?  

 Join us in this informal conversation where we will discuss: 

  •  How do we define disruption in the healthcare industry? What is the ‘extinction event’ healthcare needs and why has it not happened yet? 
  •  So far, what are the learnings from Tech Giants’ moves in healthcare?  
  •  Will Tech Giants be the ones that disrupt the healthcare industry? What are the advantages and disadvantages that Tech Giants (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google), startups, or incumbents have in making systemic change?
