GMV launches health-focused knowledge forum called HealthTech Observer

The healthcare sector is in need of a full digital transformation, mirroring what has been done in other sectors of the Spanish economy. Aware of the wide range of stakeholders in this sector and the need to join forces to achieve this transformation, technology multinational GMV has set up the HealthTech Observer, a knowledge forum bringing together leading professionals in clinical and technological innovation and health, healthcare, and welfare research. The forum’s founding mission is to accelerate the uptake of digital technologies as tools for implementing patient-centered personalized and precision medicine, which is essential for the sustainability of healthcare systems.

This initiative is also in line with the company’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 3, which focuses on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages, and SDG 9, which includes key aspects such as the promotion of technology, innovation, and research. Likewise, in line with SDG 17, which encourages partnerships to achieve the Goals, GMV is taking part in numerous digital innovation and research projects in the healthcare field, applying breakthrough technologies, and networking with Spanish and European hospitals, universities, and research centers. It also shares the results of these initiatives in media and specialized publications.

Furthermore, it resonates with the EU4Health program, the European Union’s response to COVID-19, whose objectives include bolstering healthcare systems and making them more resilient and resource-efficient. To these ends, GMV is currently developing new digital healthcare solutions to aid prescription, monitoring, and decision-making, with a focus on omnichannel delivery and user experience.

More than two decades working for the healthcare sector

The HealthTech Observer is supported by renowned professionals in the fields of healthcare, research, and digital technology. It kicked off on 16 March with an event focusing on the benefits of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) and its planning by means of GMV’s Radiance, a pioneering and unrivaled IORT planner. When used in conjunction with other cancer therapies, IORT can significantly improve the prognosis of brain, breast, and colon tumors, among others. The aim is to highlight the major benefits of this therapy for cancer patients in terms of survival and quality of life during treatment.
