Overview

Home-based health care has long been associated with end of life care. Today however, the advancement of technology in areas such as AI and sensors, has not just broadened the type of home-based healthcare offerings available but has also made them more effective making it a viable alternative to hospital stays.

Home healthcare services are expected to experience significant growth as demand for these services continues to increase with an ageing population and limited hospital beds. Against this backdrop, this session will address the opportunities to enhance patient outcomes in the home-based healthcare setting by applying technology.

  • What technologies are at the forefront of innovation re-shaping home-based healthcare, from telehealth, and remote monitoring, to data analysis?
  • What post-pandemic lessons have we learned, and how can they be applied to the future of home-based healthcare?
  • What role can home-based healthcare play with the increased focus on preventative care?
  • What are some of the challenges associated with home-based healthcare, and how do we overcome them?
