Next week, all those passionate about the latest and greatest advancements in technology will come together for New Zealand’s annual festival of innovation, Techweek 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the recurring theme of \u2018innovation that’s good for the world\u2019 we\u2019re excited to share why we do what we do at Orion Health. Technology is everywhere, advancing rapidly across all sectors, helping to solve many problems around the world. Yet, in the health industry, it has been a universal challenge to see technology used to its full potential. Collaborations between clinicians and health technology providers are starting to improve the lives of patients, helping clinicians make better decisions, and creating ways for healthcare organisations to be more efficient. With crucial technology such as electronic health records and connecting existing IT systems, healthcare technology is helping to integrate the myriad of daily activities of healthcare professionals and organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ian McCrae, Founder and CEO of Orion Health said, \u201cThe last decade has been focused on the acquisition of large amounts of health data. The next decade will see us connect and make meaningful use of that data, revealing valuable insights about people and our New Zealand communities, saving precious health dollars and enabling truly personalised care.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last year, Techweek saw 540 events running in 24 locations around the country, showcasing a plethora of new breakthroughs in technology across multiple industries and organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
