This webinar explored how the cloud could improve the delivery of digital health in Asia.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how the healthcare industry uses technology. The cloud, in particular, has the potential to drive innovation in telemedicine, digital health, medical research, and clinical care.

This webinar explored how the cloud could improve the delivery of digital health in Asia. It also examined how to increase cloud adoption in the healthcare sector, including policy enablers and best practices for digital health, and how digital health could help improve health equity in the region. A study from Deloitte on the benefits of cloud-enabled healthcare in ASEAN was also presented.

The webinar is part of the “Digital Transformation with the Cloud” policy webinar series organized by Amazon Web Services (AWS), the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

The webinar series brings together policymakers, regulators, think tanks, academia, industry, and other key stakeholders to explore how the cloud and forward-thinking, pro-innovation digital policies can accelerate the digital transformation journey of nations. It also aims to enhance understanding about the cloud, its benefits, and the policy best practices for digital transformation through the cloud.
