# Expanding Digital Health Innovation in Emerging Markets

New services and business models are transforming access amidst COVID-19.

**On-Demand | 63 Minutes

**Originally Recorded on February 4, 2021

## About this webinar

Three innovators share how they are expanding digital health services to meet consumer demand for healthcare in emerging markets. With moderator and author Deb Gordon, we’ll unpack key trends in consumer healthcare in three diverse settings, how innovative business models can expand access to health services, and the impacts of COVID-19 on digital health innovation.

### In this episode, we will:

- Explore three digital health business models for expanding patients’ access to quality healthcare in emerging markets;
- Hear from health innovators about how they designed, launched, and scaled their ventures;
- Discuss how healthcare consumerism trends are impacting health access in emerging markets;
- Look at how COVID-19 has prompted health innovators to pivot, adapting their business models and services;
- And reflect on the pandemic’s broader implications for digital health innovation.
