First Virtual DMEA Comes to an End

DMEA - Connecting Digital Health16 - 18 June 2020, Berlin, Germany.
More than 5,000 participants, over 100 Supporters and more than 500 contributions to the programme - these were the final figures after three days of DMEA sparks - the first entirely virtual edition of Europe's leading event for digital health.

"Our main goal with DMEA sparks was to provide a platform under the current circumstances for a dialogue on digitalisation in the healthcare system - especially as demand has never been higher," said Sebastian Zilch, managing director of the German Association of Healthcare Vendors. "The positive feedback from our speakers and participants showed our decision was right. What also became clear was that a virtual format cannot replace DMEA as an in-person event. I very much hope therefore that DMEA 2021 will take place as planned again next April."

"We were delighted that so many of our exhibitors were open to a new virtual format," said Jens Heithecker, executive vice president of Messe Berlin. "As Supporters they contributed significantly to the event's success and helped shape the programme with numerous webinars and presentations."

Digital health on demand

Starting today, DMEA sparks is hosting a comprehensive on-demand service that provides online access to many program items until 15 July. They include all the items from day one, among them the opening interview with Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn, the eHealth Hot Seat with Dr. Markus Leyck Dieken (gematik), as well as virtual tours and many of the webinars and lectures by Supporters from days two and three.

All items can be accessed on the website at www.dmea-sparks.de.
