9. COVID & Digital Health
Episode 9
Sunday, 2 May, 2021

Technology has revolutionized healthcare. The technology we have today allows us to understand much more about our health and our health system using technology, than ever before. But yet, millions of people still suffer from completely preventable diseases worldwide each year. Many health systems are on the brink of collapse. Cleary technology is not the only answer to addressing all the problems in healthcare. So what role does digital health play in improving healthcare access and delivery? What exactly is digital health anyway? How do we use digital health in a way that does not leave behind the poor or technologically illiterate? How has Covid-19 impacted all of this? In this episode of the BTF podcast, I chat with Dr Benji Ozynski, to try to make sense of digital health solutions during Covid and beyond. Benji is a medical doctor and the Director of Business Development of Wits Healthcare Innovation, he is also and a co-founder of Market Mx. Benji discovered his passion for entrepreneurship after starting his first business in medical school, and is working to build a career integrating business, health and technology. The Wits Healthcare Innovation (WHI) was established to catalyse the implementation and creation of scalable, patient-centred and technology-driven solutions within the healthcare ecosystem of South Africa and beyond. WHI is a division of Wits Health Consortium and consists of a diverse, multi-talented team working to further the digital transformation of healthcare within South Africa, change the culture within healthcare and make a positive social impact. Benji, is changing the world. Please remember to rate and subscribe wherever you enjoy your podcasts.
