This week, our co-host Dr Stefan Buttigieg had a delightful conversation with the CEO of Digital Salutem and Digital Health Influencer João Bocas. João visited us in Malta in November of last year and we couldn't resist to reach out to him and ask him about his thoughts and vision for Digital Health and MedTech, especially with his deep knowledge in the field of Wearables. Take the time to learn about his sports background and how he learnt from his successes and even challenging times to create Digital Salutem, with the main aim of making healthcare uncomplicated.
