Digital Health Summit 

Monday 20th January 2025 & Tuesday 21st January 2025 

At the Hasso Plattner d-school Afrika* building, University of Cape Town Middle Campus 

 

The Hasso Plattner Institute Research School at the University of Cape Town invites you to a conversation between local researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working in the areas of digital health.  Key speakers will be invited to give talks, participate in panels, and present papers. Our goal so to provide an opportunity for us to connect and learn about what we’re working on, with an eye towards fostering collaboration and sharing of experiences. The summit will focus on clinical systems and data on the first day, and health education, communities and people on the second day.
