2nd Annual Digital Health Summit Brings Global Talent and Technology to Impact Local Communities

More than 175 healthcare transformers, game-changers, and status-quo challengers convened in Durham in November to discover, define, and design an immersive education curriculum, real-world evidence in clinical research, innovative frameworks for quality improvement, and collaborative market propositions that drive health outcomes and economic development. The DHIT Summit drew an eclectic group of digital health experts from around the world to dig deep into how Digital Health can be used to pervasively transform health.

Dr Facrice Brunet

A key enhancement this year was hosting the Government of Quebec, the largest Canadian province, who led a delegation comprising 10 digital health start-ups as well as the University of Montreal Health Center (CHUM). CHUM is considered one of the most progressive health systems in the world and a leader in leveraging Artificial Intelligence to improve patient care. The audience took inspiration as well as real-world examples from Dr. Fabrice Brunet, President and CEO of CHUM, on how health systems can leverage AI for better healthcare delivery.

You’re breaking down the invisible barriers (mostly mindsets), illuminating paths forward, and activating the change agent in all of us. I am learning from you every time we intersect. Thank you for bringing me into your community and practice. I am early in my Jedi journey and look forward to the road ahead.”
