Opportunities and challenges for UK and EU businesses in the U.S. digital health sector
With the advent of new technologies, U.S. healthcare is changing and creating opportunities for digital health innovators. On 5 October 2022, ACT | The App Association’s Connected Health Initiative (CHI) hosted a webinar to discuss opportunities in the U.S. healthcare industry.
As of 2021, the U.S. healthcare industry was worth $808 billion. It’s a big market and one that many UK and EU healthtech companies want to enter. To help our members access the American healthcare market, this webinar from the App Association explained how the U.S. system works for payment/reimbursement, as well as how U.S. government grants can create new partnerships and opportunities.
Our expert speaker Brian Scarpelli, global policy counsel and CHI lead, covered a variety of topics, including.
Emerging trends in U.S. healthcare
Overview of the U.S. healthcare reimbursement and payment ecosystem
Medicare and Medicaid
Private insurance
Overview of key grant/partnership opportunities
