Qualtrics is proud to host a roundtable on this vital topic with renowned expert Will Hudson and Steven Issa who is the former Chief Digital Officer at the Australian Digital Health Agency. Together they will discuss how to improve equity outcomes and closing health gaps, reduce cost, improve quality of life and bring communities closer together.
