📢Four Clinical Trials We’re Watching That Could Change Medicine in 2025 - "Breakthroughs in medicine are exciting. They promise to alleviate human suffering, sometimes on global scales. But it takes years, even decades, for new drugs and therapies to go from research to your medicine cabinet. Along the way, most will stumble at some point. Clinical trials, which test therapies for safety and efficacy, are the final hurdle before approval. So, what’s poised to take the leap from breakthrough to clinical approval in 2025? Here’s what to expect in the year ahead." Source https://lnkd.in/dV_uRjgE #DHADailyDigitalHealthTrends25

📢Lesotho validates its Digital Health Strategy 2025-2030! " The Ministry of Health of Lesotho, in partnership with key stakeholders and with technical and financial assistance from the World Health Organization (WHO), has successfully validated its draft Digital Health Strategy 2025-2030. This marks a significant milestone in the country’s efforts to harness the power of digital technologies to strengthen its healthcare system, improve health outcomes, and achieve its broader health and well-being goals. The development of the Digital Health Strategy 2025-2030 aligns with the UN 2.0 framework, which emphasizes leveraging digital transformation to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The framework’s focus on inclusivity, multistakeholder collaboration, and digital innovation is reflected in Lesotho’s approach to addressing healthcare challenges. By embedding the principles of the UN 2.0 framework, the strategy ensures that digital health interventions are equitable, ethical, and sustainable, fostering a future-ready health system that leaves no one behind." Congratulations to Lesotho for the milestone 💥 Source https://lnkd.in/daaAKywS #DHADailyDigitalHealthTrends25

📣📣Why returns have been slow to follow investment in digital health. “Digital health boomed in the pandemic. In 2020, such apps were released at an average rate of 250 a day. Globally, the field attracted over $100bn of investment in the three years to 2022, according to CB Insights. One legacy of that investment frenzy is intense competition. In virtual healthcare, there is often little to stop patients switching between apps. Investors’ willingness to back digital health start-ups declined as interest rates rose, accentuating the importance of a path to profitability. Equity funding in the sector globally has dropped back to little more than a quarter of its 2021 peak, according to CB Insights. One in three digital-health dollars invested in the first half of 2024 went to start-ups using AI, according to San Francisco-based Rock Health. Digital technology has huge potential in health, but it is far from a sure-fire prescription for investment success.” Source Financial Times https://lnkd.in/dn4SRa6m #DHADailyDigitalHealthTrends25
