Seizing the moment: An opportunity for real change with technology at its heart

Covid-19’s impact has been felt everywhere, obviously particularly so in healthcare. Innovation has been accelerating at such a pace as new tools and technologies are being used in new ways. The huge jump forward is likely to be a long-term trend.
