With ageing populations, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and severe labour shortages, the global healthcare sector is increasingly turning to digital solutions to meet growing demand. In this context, the GITEX Digi Health 5.0 conference has emerged as a pivotal event for industry leaders and is scheduled to take place alongside Medical Fair Asia 2024 from 11-12 September 2024 at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.
Organized by Kaun International, an international events company under Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), GITEX Digi Health 5.0 will showcase how artificial intelligence and advanced technologies are transforming the future of healthcare. The conference will bring together a diverse range of experts including Osama El Hassan, Head of eHealth at Dubai Health Authority, Hannah Burkhart, Head of Venture Fund at UNICEF, and Lee Cheen Ern, Deputy Group CEO at Singapore Health.
Throughout the conference, there will be a focus on the integration of AI, telemedicine and emerging digital technologies in the healthcare sector. Key topics will include AI-driven diagnostics, the role of augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) in patient consultations, and the potential of blockchain technology to enhance patient care. These discussions are particularly timely, as Statista estimates that Asia's digital health market is expected to generate revenue of approximately $67 billion in 2024, growing to $99.6 billion by 2029.

GITEX Digi Health 5.0 is part of DWTC's broader strategy to expand its influence across Asia. Building on the success of GITEX Global, held annually in Dubai as the world's largest tech event, this expansion includes the launch of GITEX Asia, scheduled for April 2025 in Singapore. GITEX Asia aims to connect regional players with a global network of tech innovators, investors and AI leaders, and establish Singapore as a key gateway to Asian markets.
Within this broader framework, GITEX Digi Health 5.0 will serve as a key platform to advance healthcare innovation in Southeast Asia. With a focus on the intersection of healthcare and technology, the event is aligned with GITEX's overarching mission of addressing global challenges through technological advancements.
