Thursday Gathering
Scaling Digital Health: Innovation & Transforming Care
Jan 15, 2026, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM

📍One Triton Square, London, NW1 3BF

 

Never has it been easier to launch a business - yet never has it been more difficult to succeed commercially. Nowhere is this paradox more evident than in health care. Despite clear unmet needs and rapid technological innovation, many health care products struggle to gain adoption, demonstrate value, and achieve sustainable reimbursement at scale.

 

This event, hosted in collaboration with DHACA (Digital Health and Care Alliance), brings together founders, operators, investors, clinicians, and ecosystem enablers to explore what it really takes to build and scale successful health care companies today.

 

  • What makes health care especially challenging compared to other industries - from adoption barriers and reimbursement complexity to regulatory and data constraints.
  • How companies are successfully navigating this landscape, sharing real-world lessons on product-market fit, clinical validation, go-to-market strategy, and commercial scale.
  • The critical role of technology and funding enablers, including digital platforms, data infrastructure, strategic partnerships, and innovative financing models that help bridge the gap between innovation and impact.

 

Through candid discussion and practical insights, this gathering aims to move beyond theory and highlight what actually works in the real world of digital health. Whether you are building, investing in, or supporting health care innovation, this event will provide valuable perspectives on turning promising ideas into sustainable, scalable solutions that truly make a difference.
