Presentation title: “How to use TRUST in building the brand of your country, hospital, and people”

Abstract

We all hear about technology all day, everyone wants to have the latest apps, digital engagement and immediate response.
But what about the comfort, trust and connecting with potential human patients?
Is technology the answer for everything? or do we need to think about people centered approach?
Never forget that your brand is built on human behavior, human perception, and service for humans.
A brand without TRUST is not going to succeed.
