What most people are only realising due to the current pandemic was already clear to many Bavarian companies and start-ups before it happened: numerous processes within the healthcare system require continuous improvement. Digital solutions that improve the everyday work of doctors and nurses must be used more intensively. This is precisely where digital health comes in. The digitisation of medical applications is creating cross-industry innovations in the healthcare sector that improve patient treatment and make processes more efficient. The three areas of artificial intelligence, telemedicine and digitalised health management in particular are attracting special attention due to the current situation and reveal the potential of digital healthcare even beyond the crisis.
