E-Health congress is looking for start-ups

E-Health and telemedicine have a particular potential in cardiovascular disease prevention as well as in the long-term care management of patients with chronic diseases. They will rapidly evolve and become an important component of today’s medical care. Their great potential to lower health care costs by reducing the burden of disease, the risk of complications, hospitalizations, recurrent events and premature death should be exploited to the full.

The European e-Cardiology & e-Health Congress will improve the dialogue and strengthen the interaction between stakeholder groups. The event brings together health professionals such as physicians, physiotherapists, exercise & sports scientists and nurses, experts of universities and research institutes, representatives of health and government authorities, industry representatives and service providers as well as individuals who are interested to learn more about the growing field of e-Health and telemedicine.
