As the country gradually comes out of full lockdown, Brainstorm’s latest digital edition is available online, even if you’re not a subscriber.
May’s cover story looks at the central role electronic health records can play in the NHI. Brainstorm spoke to Life Healthcare’s CDO, Suren Govender who sits on the board of a new medical collective called CareConnect. It is an information exchange programme between healthcare providers Netcare, Mediclinic and Life Healthcare and local healthcare funders.
Brainstorm’s editor-in-chief, Adrian Hinchcliffe says this issue focuses on lockdown, COVID-19 and how tech is being used to fight the virus and keep businesses operational.
Vox Telecoms’ CEO Jacques du Toit takes us though their new normal.

In BrainstormLife, we take a look at social media’s mob mentality and cyber bullying, adds Hinchcliffe. Cell C has partnered with the Active Education Foundation in launching a cyber safety programme which encourages the responsible use of social media platforms and educates young people on cyber safety.
