Digital transformation in healthcare promises improved patient outcomes and streamlined services. But the pace of innovation currently lags behind its potential, slowed by regulatory challenges, a complex healthcare ecosystem and safety concerns. Yet the need for high-quality, consumer-centric digital health solutions is more critical than ever.

She offers a compelling perspective on the digital transformation of healthcare and its impact on the five Ps: pioneers, providers, patients, payers and policymakers. She also emphasizes the importance of consumer-driven innovation, proactive patient engagement and equitable access to services and devices.
