The event is only held once a year and it brings together the sharpest minds, the brightest ideas and all the key players within the digital health sector. Delegates include clinicians, IT professionals, health sector managers, government, industry, academics, students, and other NGOs.  Digital Health Week NZ builds and strengthens connections between these groups and encourages the sharing of the latest and best ideas across the sector.

The event will open your eyes to the successful innovative digital health projects and the transformational changes occurring across the health sector, including those being implemented by Health New Zealand – Te Whatu Ora as mentioned by Leigh Donoghue, chief data and digital at the Digital Health Association’s 21st Birthday Parliamentary event on 22 August 2023 in Wellington, where he said "the new national structure of Te Whatu Ora is a ‘game changer’ and data and digital is looking to address these issues to optimise its investment and make the case for wider investment."

Our conference will feature an exhibition hall, presentations, and workshops designed to inspire and educate. Don't miss out on this chance to be a part of Aotearoa’s digital health transformation. 

There are a variety of pre-conference workshops being held on 2-3 December which will give you an opportunity to collaborate and share experiences, update your knowledge base, identify good practice and be inspired!  These workshops and meetings will include:
