Day One
9am: We're ready for you!
We're on the ground and looking forward to a few days of important conversations and exchanging ideas with healthcare leaders, innovators and decision-makers.
Last night we attended the HLTH welcome drinks where we ran into some familiar faces in our partners, Healistic and Doctify - and we met a few new faces too. And today, we're excited to get the discussion going around one of healthcare's biggest challenges: creating more connected, efficient patient pathways without adding complexity.
If you're at HLTH this week, come and visit us at Booth C45 to explore how we can improve your patient experiences, support scalable growth and change your pathway for the better.
And yes, the rumours are true: we have a caricature artist! Come and get your portrait done whilst we chat about the future of healthcare.
10:40 am: A new era of weight loss treatment with an old model of care
At HLTH Europe’s panel talk ‘Ozempidemic: The rising tide of lowering weight’, Voy Co-founder and CMO, Earim Chaudry, highlighted how obesity care is rapidly exposing the limits of traditional healthcare delivery models. Framed increasingly as a chronic medical condition rather than a lifestyle issue, obesity is driving demand for long-term, structured clinical support, particularly as patients entering treatment often have a history of multiple failed diet attempts. As Chaudry noted, “on average [patients] have 10 failed diets” before seeking medical help, underlining the scale of unmet need in current pathways.
While new therapies like GLP-1-based treatments are demonstrating strong clinical outcomes, the real challenge sits in how systems deliver care at scale. Existing models, heavily reliant on face-to-face, episodic consultations, are struggling to keep pace with rising demand and the need for sustained patient support, especially once patients come off medication, when relapse risk increases without ongoing care pathways in place.
Chaudry, whose company Voy builds personalised weight-loss treatment plans with customers, highlighted the limits of current care models, saying they “can’t cope with the volume” unless they evolve: “In order to serve the sheer number of patients, we need to change the model.”
The session also surfaced wider system pressures, from cost barriers in self-pay markets to persistent stigma that still frames obesity as a behavioural issue, with “55% on treatment hiding from partners” due to the stigma. The takeaway is clear: meeting demand for obesity care will require fundamentally new models of continuous, connected care, not incremental improvements to existing pathways.
12PM: Have you found The Pathway yet?
You might have spotted them on plant pots, tables, mirrors and chairs, and the more curious among us may have already scanned and discovered The Pathway. Keep an eye out for signs directing you to our HLTH insights, hidden in some rather unexpected spots...
