Our Premier Applied Sciences team was proud to attend AdvaMed | The MedTech Conference last week, joining leaders across the industry to discuss the future of connected care, innovation and data-driven decision-making. We also had the privilege of hosting a CEO Unplugged Session, “The Digital Dilemma: When Data Becomes the Product,” moderated by Myla Maloney, Chief Growth Officer at Premier, featuring Carsten Schroeder, President & CEO, Terumo Neuro, and Rob Albert, CEO, B. Braun of America. Together, we explored how medtech leaders are harnessing data to drive smarter, more connected innovation in healthcare's future. As Robert Albert shared during the discussion, “I don't think you can disconnect the two. I think those companies that figure out how to get the value out of the data are the ones that are going to win in the long run.” Learn how our team is tackling data challenges for medtech and other life sciences companies here: https://lnkd.in/erkBa6av
