The Future Health Asia Pitch Competition aims to identify the solutions that are perfectly suited to support the innovation required to transition the healthcare industry into an advanced and connected healthcare ecosystem.
Underlying factors for the healthcare transformation have become increasingly evident, and the global pandemic has further emphasized the need for urgency. In 2020, the industry was put to the test as demand surged for diagnostic tests, personal protective equipment, ventilators, other critical supplies, and highlighted the global dependency on frontline healthcare workers.
The healthcare industry will undoubtedly be reshaped as companies embrace flexible work arrangements, look into remote monitoring to increase patient access to care, and start moving towards digital health overall. The industry now has a chance to address its limitations and better position itself for the future.
Future Health’s angel investment group identifies early-stage HealthTech companies based in Asia or companies looking to expand their business into the region. The group facilitates the growth and development of its portfolio companies by making introductions to its extensive global network, assisting in business development, strategic planning, and mentoring.
