Silicon Valley is the world’s most known place for high tech innovations and investments. Since there is also a strong link with health it can be said that the San Francisco Bay Area houses one of the most developed and dynamic digital health eco-systems.
In order to get acquainted with the latest developments in the US digital health market and to explore opportunities for business and cooperation, a delegation of Dutch digital health companies and organisations visited San Francisco from 5 – 10 November. This mission was organised by Task Force Health Care and NextHealth with the support of InnovationQuarter, Amsterdam Trade and OostNL. The programme included meetings with several hospitals, amongst others El Camino Hospital and UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital, as well as with Stanford, Kaiser Permanente and various digital health start-ups and VC’s. On the last day a Dutch Digital Health Night was organized at the Consulate General in The Netherlands during which the delegation had the opportunity to introduce their smart solutions to the attending US (digital) healthcare stakeholders.
