Over the past 18 months, Convenzis has held a series of conferences focused on NHS Healthcare Digital Technology, we have welcomed speakers from NHS England, NHS Improvement, NHS Digital, The Department of Health and social care just to name a few.

We are entering a new era of medical care and treatment. NHS CEO Simon Stevens recently announced, “the health service is to fast-track the introduction of new ‘game-changing’ cancer drugs that target tumour-causing genetic flaws” heralding a step-change advance in personalised care.
New technologies such as AI-led diagnosis is a sign that digital advances are changing the face of healthcare in the UK at an unprecedented rate.
At a time when business leaders and government are looking to potential areas of new growth, digital health offers profound opportunities to radically improve healthcare accessibility.
Here are the 10 leading emerging healthcare technology trends for 2019/2020:
• Artificial Intelligence
• Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)
• Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)
• Electronic Health Records (EHR)
• Blockchain and data security
• Health-tracking apps
• Therapeutic apps

By harnessing these new technologies, healthcare providers can improve patient health outcomes, be cost-effective, and provide faster care. Patients will also be able to manage and control their own health and medical information. This shows that technology can help ensure a brighter, healthier future for everyone.
In the UK, Digital teams from across the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England and NHS Improvement have recently joined forces to create what we now know as NHSX, the goal is to drive digital transformation throughout the UK, below are the key 2019/2020 priorities for the team;
