Selection of conference tracks 2025

The European Health Data Space is a health specific ecosystem comprised of rules, common standards and practices, infrastructures and a governance framework.
Through this, the health of citizens is strengthened and at the same time the EU's competitiveness is maintained.
This includes patient access and control of data, and access to health data in healthcare. (Primary use of health data) and also creating a trustworthy and efficient set-up for the use of health data for research, innovation, policy-making and regulatory activities (secondary use of data).
The rules for EHDS are being decided, while the creation and development of the ecosystem is already under rapid development in a large number of projects around the EU.

Digitization and increased data availability is necessary to provide new treatments and to be able to implement administrative streamlining which is necessary to counteract the expected health workforce crisis. At the same time, the uncertain world situation with an increased number of influence campaigns and data breaches contributes to risking the credibility of healthcare and care.

New regulations, legislation, policies and standards are being developed, at the same time technology development is accelerating and it is becoming increasingly clear that cybersecurity in the healthcare and care sector is increasingly crucial to protecting sensitive patient information and ensuring continuity of care and care services.

It is important to avoid anecdotal information, subjective opinions and technology evangelism when making decisions about changes and introduction of new technology. This ensures that we use our resources correctly and base our decisions on evidence-based information.

In this track, space is given to present current evaluations, knowledge feedback and research for increased dissemination outside the research community. The presentations focus more on effect and learning, rather than method, to help generate the necessary real customer, patient and system benefit.

Emerging digital technology in healthcare is already revolutionizing patient care. Innovations like telemedicine, wearable devices, and AI-driven diagnostics are enhancing accessibility, personalizing treatment, and improving outcomes. These advancements also have the promise to transform healthcare to be more efficient.

In this track, presentations are gathered to showcase what's on the horizon and what is needed to bring about the necessary changes.

In this track we explore the future of healthcare data exchange, focusing on the synergy between standards like HL7, FHIR, openEHR , OMAP and Snomed CT. This track aims to provide a forward-looking perspective on how these standards can work together to create a cohesive and efficient interoperable ecosystem, enhancing patient care and driving innovation. Join us to discover the potential of connected health solutions.

Today, new mobile and cloud technologies together with advanced analytics enable collecting and connecting a wide range of data and developing meaningful results from it. For the first time, one can now create a truly holistic view of patients/residents and tailor solutions to their unique health needs and preferences.
