From the personal computer to the iPhone, digital technologies have long been a feature of global communications. More recently, they have also begun to alter the landscape in healthcare. This was one of the themes addressed by Zaïde Frias of the European Medicines Agency to attendees of the Medtech & Pharma Platform virtual conference on 22 October. Ms Frias is head of the digital business transformation task force at the EMA, one of four groups set up by the agency in early March to prepare for new medical technologies.
