In partnership with the scientific service of the Embassy of France in Berlin

Panel-discussion: „How is digitalization changing our healthcare system“ with: Peuker (CIO Charité), Stöckemann (CEO Peppermint Venture Partners), Tsimpoulis (Managing Director Doctolib)

The advancement of digitization is the central prerequisite for the successful development of our healthcare system”, according to the website of the German Ministry of Health.

How far did Germany and France get in 2019? How do we as patients, caregivers, scientists and entrepreneurs experience the upheaval and the possibilities that digitalization and new technologies offer?

How do roles and responsibilities for both patients and caregivers change and how do the stakeholders manage this transformation? And is everybody sufficiently aware of the ethical questions which come along when robots and algorithms replace human beings? And after all, will this improve healthcare for the individual?

With this year’s conference, hosted by the Centre Virchow-Villermé for Public Health Paris-Berlin, we invite you to gain an insight into the developments of digitalization in different areas of the healthcare system in Germany and France and to discuss opportunities and implications of digitalization in healthcare on different levels.
