Empowering meaningful digital health innovation for over a billion lives throughout India is the theme of the 2019 HITLAB Innovators Summit: India. The one-day event, sponsored by ANSYS, Praava Health, and Tech Care for All, will be held on February 16 at IIT Delhi, an Institute of Eminence. It brings together leaders and practitioners in life sciences, technology, academia, public health, medicine, investment, and design to leverage digital solutions and bring meaningful change to populations.
The global HITLAB Summit, taking place in India for the fifth time, is centered around disruptors-those driving change across the digital health ecosystem and redefining what is possible in healthcare delivery. Summit topics range from establishing a culture of innovation across stakeholders in healthcare to examining the current state of open innovation challenges.
"Bringing innovation to over a billion lives in India begins with an engaged ecosystem desiring to move beyond the status quo," said Stan Kachnowski, HITLAB Chair. "New Delhi is an ideal venue for the digital health community to gather and define the next decade of innovation."
The event features an Experts Speak session, led by ANSYS, along with diverse panels and talks from leaders representing AIIMS, Philips Healthcare, Terumo, Columbia University, Dubai Health Authority, HIMSS India, NITI Aayog, Biotech Consortium of India, and more.
"I am excited to participate in the 2019 HITLAB Innovators Summit: India as Indian engineers are amongst the most innovative in the world, eager to adopt engineering simulation to accelerate and amplify technology progress, especially in healthcare sectors," said Thierry Marchal, Global Industry Director at ANSYS.
