| Title | Description | Time |
| Telehealth Masterclass: the decline of telehealth services post-Covid boom | 13:45-15:45 | |
| Rethinking Cybersecurity for a Connected World | Defending hospitals and clinics against cyber attack is becoming ever-more challenging as new, connected technologies are often adopted faster than they can be secured. High profile ransomware attacks have forced hospitals to suspend operations on many occasions but these headline stories are just the tip of the iceberg. How do you assess the risk of internet-connected medical devices and systems inadvertently exposing information about us online? What about the supply chain – could weaknesses there be jeopardising everyone’s security and safety as healthcare becomes more dependent than ever on cloud-based systems, third-party service providers and vendors? This masterclass will scan the horizon for new cybersecurity threats in increasingly interconnected health ecosystems and look at what mitigating action can be taken. | 10:30-12:30 |
| Advancing AI in Healthcare: New Policies and Deployments | The explosion in AI to tackle a growing plethora of challenges in healthcare raises vital questions around ethics, trust and explainability. What are the game-changing new use cases for AI and where is the evidence of impact? How do creators of new AI technologies ensure ethics and reducing health disparities are written into the DNA of design and implementation? What repercussions will the trailblazing EU AI Act – set to create the world’s first broad standards for regulating AI – have on healthcare? Join our experts for cutting-edge case studies in AI, exploration of the ethical and legal issues and lively discussion on how to maximise AI’s potential in the health ecosystem. | 10:30-12:30 |
| Tech, the Metaverse and Everything | Come face-to-face with a Sci Fi future that’s already here in this workshop on hot new trends in technology and what they will mean for healthcare. From Web3 and the metaverse to ChatGPT, other Large Language Models (LLMs), digital twins and more, be inspired, entertained, and awed by futuristic technology that’s no longer just on the horizon but – like it or not –has arrived with a Big Bang and is set to revolutionise the way we live, work and care for patients. Explore real-world use cases for LLMs in healthcare and the boundless possibilities of the metaverse. Debate the controversial questions surrounding these technologies that are setting social media on fire, around trust, ethics, regulation, interoperability and more. While the full potential of the metaverse and other futuristic technologies may not be felt in healthcare for years to come, this workshop is an opportunity for clinicians and entrepreneurs alike to start preparing for a very different – and certainly more virtual – reality. | 13:45-15:45 |
| Unleashing the Potential of Apps and Digital Therapeutics | This session will dive into the latest in governance, regulation and validation of mobile health apps and digital therapeutics, examining progress in payment and reimbursement structures, as well as hearing from regional experts on how changing attitudes to recommending and prescribing apps by healthcare professionals will impact the adoption and engagement of these digital tools. How can they leverage real impact in the sphere of prevention, management and support for patients? Is the latest research on behaviour change and lifestyle interventions being incorporated into efficient and engaging tools for management of disease? Come and find out! | 10:30-12:30 |
| Innovation Forum: Succeeding as a Healthtech Entrepreneur | In the rapidly expanding world of digital health – dominated by tech giants and a maze of regulation – how do you make it big as a small health start-up? You may have already defined a genuine unmet need in healthcare and designed a solution around it. Where do you go from there? Who do you collaborate with to pitch your bright idea, secure investment, gain access to the acute sector, and get that all-important proof of concept by testing your digital product in the real world? How do you do all this while navigating an increasingly complex regulatory landscape in Europe with GDPR and new EU legislation on the horizon such as the EU AI Act, Data Act and European Health Data Space? This interactive workshop is designed to support you to succeed as a health tech entrepreneur, offering insider tips from investors, payors, providers, clinicians, patients and big tech. The session will be packed with inspiring examples of start-up journeys to learn from and opportunities to question global innovation experts. | 10:30-12:30 |
