New Innovations Tackle Pressing Challenges within the Healthcare Industry
Frost & Sullivan reveals the importance of the new players entering the healthcare market
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The entry of new competitors from outside the traditional healthcare industry is creating new competitive pressures as well as forcing established players to re-evaluate their business models and growth plans. Companies across all industries are assessing what value they can generate to help reduce soaring healthcare costs as well as alleviate pain and suffering for the world's rapidly aging population. Established healthcare and life sciences companies are witnessing their traditional business models challenged by disruptive technologies and competitors who are applying strategies borrowed from other industries.
This healthcare shift will be addressed at MedTech 2015, as Frost & Sullivan's Healthcare Consulting Group Director, Charlie Whelan hosts "Tapping Into Creativity to Drive Growth" an interactive workshop and a panel discussion "Innovation & Technology Track: How to Play Nice with Others."
Workshop participants will engage in a thought-provoking discussion with other attendees and experts to identify and develop new opportunities designed to address healthcare's most pressing challenges in the fields of technology, competitive dynamics, customer needs and medical practice. Using a specially developed conceptual tool, participants will explore questions such as:
- How could the adoption of robotics and artificial intelligence allow for more personalized healthcare in a retail environment?
- Could the use of devices made from new polymers with anti-infective properties have a dramatic impact on flattening the cost curve?
- In what ways could consumer goods companies collaborate with healthcare providers to address the needs of millions of Americans with mental and behavioral health challenges?
Additionally, attendees will gain knowledge of the new players entering the market and the challenges the new entrants cause.
"Ideas that have emerged from similar workshops Frost & Sullivan have executed, have helped spark creativity across hundreds of healthcare and life sciences companies," said Whelan. "Frost & Sullivan is looking forward to bringing that energy to New York where there is a thriving community of healthcare innovation."
Please join Whelan at MedTech 2015 for the largest gathering of healthcare senior executives and leaders from the bioscience and medical technology industry. To view more information regarding the events please visit, http://bit.ly/1U9rwnS.
