This meetup group is for everyone interested in digital health. Whether you are an entrepreneur, professional, student, or in general a digital health enthusiast, you are welcome to join us, broaden your network and knowledge, share your ideas, learn about the latest trends, and meet like-minded people.

This group is a place for exchanging ideas, and the topics we cover go from really academic tech subjects up to futuristic ideas of how digital health will impact our lives. We want to bring all digital enthusiasts together to foster the creation of new ideas, synergies and opportunities.

Join the group and be part of a community influencing how the digital future will look like.

How it works

We meet almost every month for an event, but the format of the event may differ from time to time. We have invited speakers from industry or academia, startup pitches, hands-on workshops, panel discussions, and hackathons.
