HIMSS

NHS Scotland’s Near Me Groups program has doubled virtual group consultation sessions since 2022.

What began as a pandemic response has evolved into a national model for virtual group consultations across mental health, diabetes and maternity care.

The growth reflects more than increased use: patient experience has improved, outcomes match or exceed in-person care, and the model is helping reduce travel while making care more convenient.

Every region is writing its own digital health story, and Asia-Pacific has become one of the most dynamic places to watch it unfold.

As part of our HIMSS26 APAC Steering Committee spotlight series, Prof. Ming-Ju Tsai shares his perspective on the opportunities, challenges and decisions shaping healthcare across the region.

Those conversations continue at HIMSS26 APAC, where healthcare leaders, policymakers, innovators and providers come together to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions and learn from one another. Guided by regional experience and strengthened by HIMSS research and digital maturity expertise, the event is designed to help organizations move forward with greater confidence.
