What attendees are saying about our events

Adam Wardell , Head of Innovation & Strategy, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Australia

"The continuation of ANDHealth is not only important for patients, it is important for Australia - by preparing local assets for the global stage, Australia can change lives of many around the world, and become the epicentre for digital medicine globally - Australia can lead the way.”

Dr Peter Chan, Intensive Care Specialist, Eastern Health

“ANDHealth has been an incredible asset to me as a clinician. They have enabled me to meet and partner with industry and gain a better understanding of the digital health sector in Australia. The contacts I have made as a result of my association with ANDHealth have been invaluable, and it has spurned a wave of ideas and possibilities in the health space I did not know existed."

Dr Bill Hunter , CEO of Canary Medical Inc.

“I recently travelled from Vancouver to attend and speak at the ANDHealth 2018 Summer Summit in Melbourne. The agenda and content were outstanding, the calibre of the attendees was first rate and the networking opportunities available were varied and valuable. As a result of this meeting, Canary has established contacts with service providers, investors, hospitals and researchers in Australia – several of whom we have begun working with in the months since attending the conference. It is exactly these types of events that drive the collaborations upon which our industry is so heavily dependent.”

Garth Sutherland, Founder, Adherium Limited

"Through our involvement with ANDHealth we have made key a range of key international and local connections. We have networked with, shared, and learnt from the ANDHealth community in a collaborative and progressive environment. ANDHealth is an important facilitator in the Australasian digital health and digital therapeutics network of companies, of all sizes from pre-revenue to our very largest healthcare exporters. “
