GITEX Global, the world’s biggest tech and startup show held in Dubai, has revealed plans to create the GITEX DIGI_HEALTH 5.0 Conference. This event aims to gather AI and digital health experts at a key turning point in global healthcare progress.
KAOUN International, the overseas organizing arm of Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), will put together the GITEX DIGI_HEALTH 5.0 Conference. The event will take place alongside MEDICAL FAIR ASIA in Singapore, which Messe Düsseldorf Asia organizes.
MEDICAL FAIR ASIA stands as the top healthcare exhibition in the region, with Messe Düsseldorf Asia organizing the event. The showcase will display 1,000 exhibitors from 62 countries and regions. It includes a dedicated Community Care area and a Start-Up Park that shows off cutting-edge companies.
The first GITEX DIGI_HEALTH 5.0 Conference will bring together top international speakers. These include leading future health influencers and experts in Digital Health, Artificial Intelligence, Telemedicine, Consumer Health, and Patient Care. The event will have an impact on government leaders, global executives, investors, policy-makers, and innovators.
This key partnership between GITEX and MEDICAL FAIR ASIA links the two most powerful industry event brands in healthcare, medtech, digital and AI applications. It aims to spark Asia’s shared energy to build a world-class healthcare system based on digital tech.
“We are delighted to see this co-location with the GITEX DIGI_HEALTH 5.0 Conference in Singapore”, said Gernot Ringling, Managing Director of Messe Düsseldorf Asia.
“This partnership enhances our event. MEDICAL FAIR ASIA excels as a regional sourcing and networking event. GITEX stands out as the world’s largest tech event brand.”
“GITEX DIGI_HEALTH 5.0 Conference and MEDICAL FAIR ASIA bring the medical, healthcare, and tech industries together. Attendees can explore the newest digital health solutions. They can also have meaningful talks with top experts and innovators. Singapore leads in biotech and health R&D. This makes it the perfect setting for this partnership. Together, they aim to advance healthcare and shape the future of digital health across Asia.”
The planned program will look into the chances in a mixed healthcare future where AI, IoT, predictive data analytics, and interoperability are causing a revolution in patient care systems. Talks and panel discussions will also cover how telemedicine is changing how AI diagnostics are being added, VR/AR consultations, and remote monitoring, and how new technologies like blockchain and Web3 are affecting the healthcare field.
Under the overarching theme of Implications of AI and Digitalisation in Disrupting Healthcare – The engaging 2-day conference with global speakers from more than 12 countries will showcase how these technologies are changing traditional healthcare models. This integration aims to make healthcare more productive and reachable. The event will zero in on how ready and adaptable the region is, and how this change can happen.
Home to almost 60% of the world’s population, the region’s digital health market will likely bring in USD 66.97 billion in 2024 and hit USD 99.57 billion by 2029, as Statista analysts predict. The quick shift to digital health services has an impact on industry sectors causing them to grow a lot.
Trixie LohMirmand, CEO of KAOUN International organizer of GITEX worldwide, said –
“Even with the wider global slump in funding, startups in the region have pulled in big investments. This is true in the digital future health sector. Here, the focus is on easy-to-access and accurate medical tests and answers. These are key for the economies of tomorrow.”
“We’re launching the GITEX DIGI_ HEALTH 5.0 Conference in Singapore teaming up with MEDICAL FAIR ASIA. This event will bring together the region’s healthcare community. We’re talking about rule-makers, doctors, teachers, money folks, and game-changers in innovation. The goal? To team up and use the amazing new world of deep tech. This way, we can keep up with a digital field that’s reshaping healthcare from the ground up.”
