About us
We are faced with numerous Important challenges in the Digital Health Transformation.
Why a Digital Health?
The impact on the transformation of health services, the complexity in applying digital solutions to healthcare services, the outcomes of new start-ups, the new products and services within the industry, the results from academic researchers, etc., all the above is bringing daily an enormous amount of information, which we would like to transform into knowledge.
This is only possible with a community of knowledge and practice. For this ECHAlliance Group, with over 900+ partner organizations, with a network of more than 20,000+ experts and professionals, an International Network of Ecosystems in Europe, China, Canada and in 70 countries of the Commonwealth and a reach in some 78 countries as The Global Connector Group has decided to create the Digital Health Observatory, with the following objectives.
