Digital Health Learning Network

Overview

The Digital Health Learning Network (DHLN) is a group of innovation leaders from industry, who come together specifically to understand what a patient-centric future means for life sciences and healthcare. The DHLN is hosted and supported by Cambridge Digital Innovation, organising the Network’s meetings, facilitating networking, and developing knowledge through white papers, podcasts, and webinars.

As the industry moves towards a patient-centric future the key questions of how this will manifest, what will enable it, the regulatory effect, and most importantly how this will help people lead healthy lives, must be addressed. Digital innovation is accelerating the pace of these changes, so it has never been more important, or challenging, for leaders in life Science and healthcare to understand the nature of impending disruptive innovations.
