Why Participate?

We’re Making History at Digital Health Live

Digital Health Live brings the future into the present as we “think from tomorrow” with great minds of influence, innovation, and authority in the digital health industry.

Digital Health Live is a unique opportunity to step into a vibrant and creative space brimming with thought-leadership and innovation, embracing the most exciting and promising movement ever to impact global health.

We’re Answering the “Why?”

At Digital Health Live we begin with WHY. It’s the foundational question behind every great movement in history.

At nuviun, our WHY stems from a belief that we can change the world and we see digital health as the vehicle to do it.

That’s not hype. That’s vision.

And it’s what we’ll create at Digital Health Live, too—a vision for what’s possible when great minds come together around the convergence of technology and the multibillion-dollar healthcare, medicine, sports and fitness industries.

We’re Walking You into the Future

The Digital Health Live Conference

This is not just another event. Digital Health Live's goal is to create a roadmap and agenda for change. The UAE has a strong vision to be a smart city and healthcare is one of its top priorities. Couple this with little-to-no legacy infrastructure, as well as regulation that can be rewritten where it makes sense, and it becomes evident why many experts are recognising that this region has a huge opportunity to be the testing ground for real and radical change.

For this to happen, you need to connect the experts who have the know-how with the decision-makers who have the vision and the resources. Digital Health Live is the place to make such a connection.

This event is fully supported by the UAE local health authorities, and there is a huge vested interest for this meeting to be the launchpad for change.

The Digital Health Live Expo

It's an experiential walk into the future of healthcare. It will be free to attend and we are expecting attendance to be in the thousands.

Highlights of the Expo include:

• The world's first interactive and immersive Digital Health experience.
• Themed zones in the Expo, with interactive live 'demo' benches to allow expo attendees to try your offerings hands-on. We select the top 8 companies to represent each themed zone. Spaces are extremely limited.

About Dubai

Dubai will be the host of 2015's essential global digital health event.

Digital Health Live 2015 will take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre, the region's largest purpose-built conference and event facility.

Why Dubai?

There is much yet to be done

Though the digital health landscape has rapidly evolved, the potential for real progress is much greater still—and the GCC market is the perfect place to achieve it.

The West has led innovation, but effective implementation has been hindered by an environment thick with legacy infrastructure, bureaucracy, regulatory restrictions and reimbursement limitations.

The GCC is unique

Countries in the Gulf region aren't hindered by the same factors. This alternate dynamic provides a unique and significant opportunity to leapfrog, lead and catalyse the digital health momentum here. With the recent massive growth in healthcare spend, and an expected sector worth $60bn by 2025—it's apparent that this region is committed to do what's needed to improve the quality of its healthcare systems.

UAE is the world's gateway

The spirit of cooperation here makes a difference. Dubai's track-record of successfully hosting world-class business events can be attributed to effective collaborations between the government, industry and local communities. At the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East and Asia, Dubai is the 'world's next door neighbour'—offering easy access to many of the world's largest and fastest-growing economies. One-third of the global population is within 4 hours flying-time and two-thirds are within 8 hours.

Dubai has a radical vision

A leading interational centre for business, commerce, industry and tourism, Dubai's dynamic workforce and government have a radical vision for a smart future. This means that strategic infrastructure and transportation project investments continue to grow— ensuring a prosperous economic future.
