About our presentation: Monica Feldman, Head of Industry Research at Euromonitor International will deliver the presentation of “Redefining the Profile of the Consumer in Health and Wellness – Trends in Self-Care”, which aims to highlight how self-care is seeing yet another big transformation amid the adoption of novel digital technology (smartphones, wearables and mobile medical devices) that will change how consumers empower themselves for better health.
