For an episode of “Highway to Health” with David Kemp, Roche and Kemp’s discussion spotlighted an urgency to innovate and embrace holistic solutions, new technologies, augmented reality (AR) and mental health advancements. He added that strategies for healthcare are still brimming with promise and resilience despite some difficulties. Listen to Roche discuss HLTH, the pathways to invigorate a sector that is facing recurring challenges, and navigating the future of healthcare.
