World of health informatics in Lyon, France
: Some of the HISA team spent a few days at #MedInfo2019 in Lyon last week with the global health informatics tribe and I know we have all left feeling uplifted and inspired. It never gets old hearing about latest developments in digital health and the changes we are making to healthcare and to people’s lives!
To cap it off, our booth was a huge hit, with loads of visitors loving our accents but also interested to find out more about Australia’s hosting of
MedInfo 2021
in Sydney. Our planning is already well underway to host this prestigious congress for IMIA in 2021 so don’t forget to
subscribe for regular updates
. Our job is to deliver an amazing MedInfo and show our ground-breaking work and innovative thinking to the rest of the world.
