Healthcare Tomorrow: Pitching The Future

Medication non-adherence is one of the biggest issues in healthcare today - and one of the most overlooked. It contributes to an estimated 200,000 premature deaths every year. And it costs the EU up to €125 billion annually. Today, we're joined by Kieran Daly, General Manager and Co-Founder of HealthBeacon - the smart sharps bin innovators. His company is tackling this issue head-on, using smart technology to help patients manage their medications at home. Kieran is here today to explain how better adherence doesn't just save lives… It transforms the economics of care.

Now they're expanding into the Democratic Republic of Congo and Southeast Asia, with a US launch on the horizon. Salvatore is here to share how they're scaling impact — one screening at a time.

Calla Lily has recently been selected for Wellcome Leap's $50 million Focused Antibiotics programme - targeting a UTI treatment that spares the gut microbiome. Lara is here to share why solving for women means solving for everybody, and how rethinking drug delivery - rather than chasing new molecules - could reshape the fight against antibiotic resistance…

As healthcare moves beyond the hospital, we’re connecting more devices than ever. But that connectivity brings a new challenge: how do you keep it secure and manageable at scale? Today, we’re joined by Colin Neale, Principal Business Development Manager at Wireless Logic. He’s here to tell us how real-time data from connected assets can help providers spot risks earlier and protect patient environments…
