2nd Latin American Congress on Digital Health Announced

Santo Domingo (March 2022) — Arium Salud Digital, a company providing digital services and tools to strengthen and transform the integration and management of health sector processes, announced the second Latin American Digital Health Congress, to be held on 6 and 7 September at the Hotel Intercontinental in Santo Domingo. The event is organised together with AF Comunicación Estratégica.

Fedor Vidal, CEO of Arium Salud Digital, said that at this new edition, entitled “Towards Comprehensive Digital Transformation”, they will present the findings of the first Digital Health Study carried out in the Dominican Republic. The research will provide the results of a diagnosis and analysis of the current state of national digital health in terms of installed capacity, regulatory framework and international benchmarks.

With this congress, the aim is to offer a starting point aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that fosters synergies to drive the sector’s necessary strategic planning, through public-private partnerships aimed at improving the accessibility, transparency, cost-effectiveness, quality and safety of health processes and services.

Vidal, an international expert in health technology and business, added: “Digital health has become a broad field of knowledge that includes the use of mobile apps, telemedicine, remote monitoring devices and electronic medical records. Likewise, virtual reality and augmented reality applications and AI-powered tools have created greater connection between doctors, patients, the pharmaceutical and insurance sectors and other players in the health ecosystem.”

Amelia Reyes Mora, president of AF Comunicación Estratégica, the event’s co-organiser, said that “the Latin American Digital Health Congress is aligned with the global strategy on digital health 2020-2025 and represents a unique setting for sharing, updating knowledge and building networks for exchanging good practices, making it possible to respond appropriately to the sector’s present and future needs and driving the integration and innovation of the health system”.

Reyes Mora said the event is aimed at leaders, senior executives and representatives of the health and technology sectors, clinics and hospitals, health risk administrators (ARS), imaging centres, dental centres, pharmaceutical companies, clinical laboratories, telecommunications, local and international insurers, and government.
