The International Society for Telemedicine and eHealth (ISfTeH), driven by its mission to increase the benefits of digital health around the globe, will host the Caribbean’s inaugural digital health conference, ‘Telehealth: Caribbean Connected’. 

The conference, slated for August 18 to 20 at the Iberostar Grand Rose Hall Hotel in Montego Bay, is anticipated to unveil insights into digital health best practices, success-driven business models, and effective strategies for healthcare privacy and accessibility. 

Along with supporting partner, ecosystem-building venture of NovaMed Inc., Catalyst Health Innovation Forum, the conference will present the best practices for telemedicine as a ‘Caribbean Connected’, and will offer an ideal platform to foster discussions around the sustainability, cost-effectiveness and practicality of digital healthcare.

“Digital technologies are revolutionising the way we diagnose, treat and monitor patients. It’s now vital for healthcare professionals across the region to collectively explore these burgeoning opportunities and evaluate ways of incorporating digital healthcare into their practices,” shares founder of NovaMed Inc., Dr David Walcott.

‘Telehealth: Caribbean Connected’ is set to assemble a broad array of stakeholders including international and regional health officials, CEOs, healthcare executives, physicians, researchers, healthcare professionals and community health organisations. It represents a singular platform for all invested in healthcare to intersect, engage and create synergies.

“In this post-pandemic world, the ISfTeH is playing a pivotal role in facilitating the connections and networking required to achieve sustainable integration of digital health into the global healthcare ecosystem to expand access to care and improve health outcomes,” mused Dr Michele Y Griffith, president of the ISfTeH.

Through initiatives like the Caribbean Connected conference, the ISfTeH continues to foster global partnerships and stimulate dialogue, positioning itself as a leader in the realm of digital health.

“Caribbean Connected” is more than an event- it’s a transformative movement poised to revolutionise the digital health industry in the Caribbean,” noted Walcott.

ISfTeH serves as a global resource for knowledge and access to experts in the digital health space. Over its 26-year history, the Switzerland-based society has been instrumental in driving forward global digital health transformation, achieving unparalleled reach across 110 countries and territories over time.
