Background:

In April 2018, Focus Academy and the Irish Network Bay Area brought together a group of distinguished Irish scientists and leaders working at the forefront of digital health to discuss how the landscape was changing. Little did we know how much our lives would be altered in just 18 months, how the development of digital health solutions would rapidly accelerate, and how pervasive and critical these solutions would become in our daily lives.

Maintaining our health and wellness as well as the health and wellness of our friends, families, and communities has become a key focus since COVID 19 came on the scene and swept across the globe at frightening speed.

On December the 10th, our panel of experts reconvened to discuss the effects the pandemic has had on mental and physical health in terms of digital health solutions.

Moderator: Kate Gunning, Managing Partner, Focus Academy, in partnership with Irish Network Bay Area
