Join us as we have a lively conversation on the intricacies of this region and lessons we’ve taken away from our professional and personal experiences from living and working in APAC.  

Here are some topics we cover:

  • How does cultural history, health system similarities, and geographic location define the six clusters within Asia Pacific?  
  • What are some ways to identify common customer problems in Asia Pacific which can be solved through technology?
  • How does current economic status, historical health system design, and cultural norms affect the way individuals interact with healthcare?
