These devices encompass a wide range of technologies, from smartwatches and fitness trackers to more specialized medical equipment like remote monitoring systems for chronic conditions. This session addresses the role of connected devices in monitoring, personalized services, patient engagement, and integration with virtual care. Speakers highlight new strategies to monetize data, subscription business models, and the new focus on preventive care.
