In many ways, Malta has claimed its position as a forerunner in the medical field. With a model healthcare system, an internationally sought-after medical school, and multiple government initiatives, Malta's level of excellence in healthcare is undeniable. "We cannot stop there," said Dylan Attard, conference CEO and Co-Chair at Med-Tech World. Med-Tech World is an online platform founded on the principles of digital health. Led by Dylan Attard, Med-Tech World is run by physicians focused on shining the spotlight on novel medical technology, innovative ideas, and up-and-coming physicians. "Over the past couple of years, healthcare has become our patient that is deteriorating every day," said Dr Attard when asked about the overarching goal of Med-Tech World. "It is up to all involved stakeholders to pull together to achieve the best possible outcome – better healthcare for all." Dr Attard explained how innovation in digital health is likely to roll out in waves. "In general, hospitals have embraced digitalised information systems, while physicians are moving on towards sharing medical records with patients through secure and dedicated networks.
