Global Innovators: Healthcare in Transition with Tobias Silberzahn

In Episode 3 of DOCSF Global Innovators, we travel to Berlin to meet Tobias Silberzahn, at the time a partner at McKinsey and healthcare innovation leader with a sweeping view of Europe’s digital health landscape.

Tobias Silberzahn outlines the essential building blocks of a digitally enabled health system, emphasizing the role of electronic health records, e-prescriptions, and integrated reimbursement models. Drawing on his policy experience across Germany, France, and Scandinavia, he unpacks why fragmented digital strategies hinder adoption and how a unified, patient-centered approach to chronic care and prevention can unlock true value.

This episode explores Europe’s digital maturity journey, the role of WHO’s global health tech initiatives, and how collaboration, not competition, could define the next frontier in care delivery.
