The 2nd Annual Needham Virtual Health Tech 1×1 Conference was a one day event that gave investors a chance to meet with public and private health tech companies that are driving the evolution of healthcare across health systems, payors, life sciences companies and the patient. The global pandemic wildly changed the way healthcare is delivered, creating a wave of innovation that drives modernization in this historically slow-moving industry. At the event, discussions focused on the use of automation and machine learning to break down data siloes, the continued shift to value-based care models, the evolution of reactive telehealth to proactive virtual care, automation of the R&D suite, and digital transformation within the healthcare ecosystem. This day consisted of 1×1 meetings with management teams for qualified institutional investors.
