Get the keys to unlock the future of healthcare

Digital transformation is driving innovation in healthcare, creating new models and cultures and enhancing processes and user experiences. Yet with so many disparate sectors and providers – from pharmaceuticals, medical devices and hospitals to health insurers and regulatory authorities – the path to transformation will be as complex as the industry itself. To get there, today’s healthcare leaders must understand new technologies in healthcare and how they can be harnessed to rethink the way services are designed and delivered.

Digital Transformation in Healthcare is a 9-week programme from Imperial Executive Education that’s designed to provide these insights. Through an expansive exploration of the core technologies enabling digital transformation in healthcare and the trends, challenges and opportunities they present, you’ll gain the knowledge and tools to strategise your own implementation plans and ensure their success.
