Digital Health Leaders Programme

Programme Overview

'Empowering industry leaders to transform opportunity into commercial impact'

Join a powerful peer community and gain the tools to lead digital health initiatives in the medtech and pharma sectors — from vision to commercial impact.

Connected Health Skillnet and Santegic, together with Irish Medtech and BioPharmaChem Ireland are delighted to present the Digital Health Leaders Programme - an immersive programme targeted at those seeking to develop a forward-thinking digital health strategy, build cross-functional partnerships, and position their organisations at the forefront of future health technology innovation.

Medtech and pharmaceutical companies large and small are grappling with the many ways that digital health is changing the nature of their business. There is huge opportunity to explore new connected products as well as solutions that wrap around their current device/drug offering to generate data insights that will enhance treatment or monitor therapeutic adherence thus offering more patient/customer centric solutions to ultimately improve health outcomes. However, with regulations, reimbursement strategies and paths to market still being defined, there are nuances for digital health solutions versus established medical device and pharmaceutical products. Successfully navigating this cultural shift will require dynamic leaders and change makers who have the domain expertise and commercial acumen needed to identify opportunities in digital health,

The Digital Health Leaders Programme is a hands-on action learning training experience designed to empower professionals with the domain expertise, commercial acumen, and leadership mindset required to drive digital health transformations in medtech and pharma. This programme provides a strategic and practical understanding of digital health, covering key technologies, successful business model and commercialisation strategies, global regulatory frameworks, reimbursement pathways, and practical implementation approaches. Participants will gain hands-on experience through action learning, peer coaching, and expert-led discussions.

This programme is designed for those seeking to develop a forward-thinking digital health strategy, build cross-functional partnerships, and position their organisations at the forefront of health technology innovation.

By the end of this programme, participants will:

• Develop a deep understanding of digital health tools, technologies, and their impact across medtech and pharma.
• Identify opportunities and mitigate challenges in commercialising digital health solutions.
• Acquire the leadership mindset and organisational capabilities to embrace and embed these technologies and a successful digital health strategy.
• Navigate regulatory, funding, and business model considerations across key global markets.
• Build the confidence to lead and influence digital health transformation within their organisation
• Understand the key considerations for commercial deployment of digital health products and solutions into national and international markets.
