THE CONCEPT

A new horizon for health

The knowledge and practice of medicine are always evolving. Technological innovations pose huge challenges to health professionals and systems regarding their responsible, safe and efficient use. Having access to such knowledge and discussing its practice is indispensable.

As the greatest and most important telemedicine and digital health event in Latin America, the Global Summit emerges as a catalyst, encompassing this entire ecosystem. It is not only an event, but the creation and discovery of new horizons for health, with a program focused on content, experience and business, around telemedicine and digital health themes.

The Event will comprise more than 100 hours with Exclusive content;
95 sessions with over 200 national and international speakers.

Format: VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE – 100% online;
Conferences, Panels, Lectures and Sponsor Space throughout the Event; everything happening at the same time, on a virtual Multiplatform environment. The Global Summit Telemedicine & Digital Health is an initiative of Associação Paulista de Medicina (APM – Medical Association of São Paulo) in partnership with Transamerica Expo Center.

APM believes that Telemedicine is a reality that is here to stay

Experience, day after day

The pandemic that has been affecting us for more than a year brought with it new and important experiences with Telemedicine. Al of a sudden, we were forced to stay at home and do everything online, including medical care.

Three regulations (CFM Official Letter 1.756, Ordinance 467 and Law 13.989) were issued on an emergency basis in 2020. Although we need a little more debate until the final legislation on Telemedicine is enacted to guarantee the quality of care and the safety of doctors and patients, this has been a moment learning.

The 2^nd edition of our Global Summit Telemedicine & Digital Health also had its format changed and delivered other valuable experiences. We can indeed foster a rich and in-depth debate online. And we will do it again in 2021, Associação Paulista de Medicina and Transamerica Expo Center, so we can keep moving forward.

Digital Transformation at the Service of Life

Concept

Digital health may be understood as connected, continuous healthcare through digital and communication technologies.

Its global exponential growth has been determined by the COVID-19 pandemic and it will continue to expand even after the pandemic comes to an end. The digital transformation we are witnessing involves the entire spectrum of healthcare, from quality of life and promotion of health, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, including rehabilitation, through to caring for people at their homes. Telemedicine and telehealth are an integral part of digital health, and doctors and health professionals should practice them in a responsible and humanized way, centralizing care in people’s lives where, when and, whenever possible, as they want it and need it.

The digital health ecosystem is growing at a high speed, with regulators adjusting whatever is necessary to encourage digital innovation and shorten the time required for the sale of diagnostic, therapeutic and monitoring solutions. Payment sources are showing greater willingness to expand coverage, healthcare providers are increasing the use of connected care services, patients are embracing the use of digital health technologies and product developers are investing in the development of new digital technologies.

Testimonials

“Even though the Global Summit Telemedicine & Digital Health had to go virtual in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and once again this year, but based on the huge success of the first edition in 2019, it has certainly not lost its great appeal in the rapid development and growth of digital apps in the health area. The concept and format are innovative and match the current expectations of the professionals involved. It also plays a key role in continuous education and in the collection of knowledge resources. The International Society for Telemedicine and eHealth (ISfTeH) is proud to be associated with this event, which, in our opinion, will grow even further into an important annual international meeting covering Digital Health.”
