- Addressing health inequalities: Reducing differences in healthcare access, quality, and outcomes between different communities, income groups, ethnicities, or regions.
- AI and automation: Using artificial intelligence and automated systems to improve efficiency, support clinical decisions, streamline administration, and enhance patient care.
- Remote patient monitoring: Using digital tools and connected devices to monitor patients safely at home instead of keeping them in hospital when appropriate.
- Medical devices: Developing or adopting equipment, tools, and technologies used to diagnose, monitor, or treat patients.
