In this thought-provoking panel discussion, we will delve into the complex implications of healthcare apps on personalized medicine, societal equity, and healthcare services. Our experts will debate whether these innovations are a force for good or if they inadvertently contribute to systemic inequities and greater financial strain on healthcare systems.

• Promoting Personalised Medicine vs. Creating a Two-Tier Society: Are new healthcare apps promoting healthier lifestyles and better outcomes for the general population by giving individuals more control over their health? Or do they primarily benefit a privileged minority, neglecting those who are most in need of improved health interventions but cannot access these private services due to cost and technology barriers?
• Impact on Condition-Specific Technology and Services: Does the broad adoption of apps designed for the general public lead to the defunding of specific technologies and services for people with particular conditions, such as diabetes, in favour of more commercially viable products aimed at the "worried well"?
• Healthcare Data Tracking: Burden or Benefit?: Does the widespread use of health data tracking increase pressure on already stretched healthcare services as more people seek treatment for self-diagnosed issues? Or does it help uncover conditions that might otherwise go undetected and alleviate the burden on healthcare professionals by enabling patients to take basic measurements at home?
