I have been fortunate to have worked with many Governments, global organizations, and various committees of the World Health Organization, World Economic Forum, United Nations, and Commonwealth, amongst others, in addition to advising the world’s largest healthcare, OTC, and FMCG companies. One thing became clear: the future is not what we think; it is what a ‘few leaders’ (I call them disrupters) will create, and the world will follow, and I am sure you have seen that happening.
In 2018, I initiated the capacity-building working group at The International Society for Telemedicine & eHealth (ISfTeH), where I served as a board member for a decade. I decided to focus on capacity building globally, and given the slow pace of people understanding this, I discussed it with my friends who have shaped the domain of Digital Health and founded the Academy of Digital Health Sciences in 2019. This was formally announced on 16th November 2019.
I invited the world’s tallest leaders driving the Digital Transformation,
- Dr. Pritt Tohver – Government of Estonia – Estonia is a leading example of a digitally transformed country
- Richard Alvarez, Founding President & CEO of Canada Infoway- the Government organization tasked to digitally transform Canadian Healthcare
- Dr. Devi Shetty, Chairman of Narayana Health, is an Iconic Heart Surgeon who believes that Digital Health will help address the issues of access, affordability, and quality.
With these leaders, we launched the Academy of Digital Health Sciences.
Since then, we have pioneered Digital Health upskilling with our proprietary Certified Digital Health Professional® certification and have been offering a global online postgraduate program in Digital Health. This has been super successful. Watch the videos of those who have participated…. Reviews
Digital Health will be your future only if you are fully trained. I believe this, and I can forecast that by 2025, each senior-level employee will have to be much more advanced in Digital Health.
When I see the developments happening in this field and the future of healthcare delivery, the future of healthcare is ‘Phygital,’ and every company is sliding fast if it has not yet started its journey in Digital Health; whether you are a clinic operator, or a small or medium or large hospital or a pharmacy or a pharmaceutical company or a medical devices company, the future is 100% digital. The biggest challenge for leaders like you is to fully understand the domain of Digital Health and then leverage it.
I welcome you to understand and leverage the domain through our fully online global course in Digital Health taught by the global leaders who have created this domain. You will meet the finest leaders in Digital Health. Please check out https://www.digitalacademy.health/faculty/
At the Academy of Digital Health Sciences, we are preparing leaders for the future of healthcare and training leaders who will lead its digital transformation.
I will end this with a message, If you still need to start your journey in Digital Health, you are already late. Please get to speed and let us work together.
