SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- VSee, a leading telehealth platform company, announced its collaboration with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), The Global Surgery Foundation, Stanford University Center for Innovation in Global Health, and Health Tech Without Borders, on a new 7-part webinar series titled "Breaking Barriers: Exploring the Future of Global Health Technologies" launching October 19, 2023.
The series brings together thought leaders across technology, medicine, and policy to discuss how emerging health technologies can increase efficiency, extend reach, and advance health equity worldwide.

Telemedicine and digital health technologies offer transformative solutions to bridge critical gaps in healthcare delivery and improve overall health outcomes, especially in under-resourced areas. The goal of the series is to share knowledge that will allow changemakers to more rapidly implement telemedicine access: identifying opportunities to integrate technologies, helping policymakers deploy them strategically, and guiding future tech innovation to best serve global health needs.
The webinar series supports the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
"We are proud to work with UNITAR and other partners to raise awareness of how tech innovation can break down barriers and create universal healthcare access. Our hope is that this course will inspire thousands of talented people around the world to create unique digital health tools for their own countries," said Dr. Milton Chen, VSee CEO.
The first webinar, "Exploring the Global Landscape of Digital Health," will take place on October 19, 2023 at 4PM CET/9AM ET. It will provide an overview of the course and a discussion with Health Tech Without Borders on delivering digital health tools to strained hospitals to efficiently utilize available knowledge and technologies to aid healthcare infrastructure and workforce shortages.
