A perfect opportunity to identify partners for your projects or your business. Investors will also participate to give their vision of the market and detect innovative start-ups with high potential.

Healthcare professionals, researchers, policy-makers, large companies, start-ups and insurers are welcome to contact us to participate.

Creating a Digital Health Society means that citizens, policy-makers, health professionals, health but also technology companies, insurers…should work together to define new ways to ensure good health of populations.

The 2019 Programme

We are building the programme of the DHWS19 around 3 major pillars required to fully develop a Digital Society for health and care. The sessions (keynotes, panels or pitches) will invite companies, start-ups, researchers, clinicians and care providers, policy-makers, investors and insurers to share their views, present their experiences and propose innovative solutions to tackle the 3 challenges.

Track 1: Building Trust

To truly express the potential of digital health, the users (clinicians and citizens), should trust the solutions. Current technologies, such as AI, machine learning and data analytics, are promising to deliver more personalised care but also raise ethical and societal concerns. Citizens wish to control their own data, decide who can and who cannot access them, and for which purpose. Similarly, clinicians should trust the data and the systems in order to use them in their day-to-day practice and so transform the way they provide care. At organization’s level as well, data should flow safely ensuring security and privacy regulations are met and allowing interoperability between systems.

Key topics: Data Governance, Ethical AI, Blockchain, Chid & maternal care challenge

Track 2: Breaking down the Data silos for holistic health

Recent studies show that genetics is playing for around 20% in determining health outcomes, behaviours and lifestyle for 40%, environment for 20% and access to care for 10%. Nevertheless, we are still lacking of models and solutions allowing a comprehensive understanding of the components of the health status of an individuals. Innovative solutions should overcome the data silos, utilise evidences-based models integrating different information sources and parameters and deliver personalised care and advices combining interventions, treatments and self-management.

Key topics: Genetics, Personalised/precision medicine, Behaviour, Lifestyle

Track 3: Urban health and well being

By the past, some were claiming that technologies were not designed for all and that the “digital divide” was one of the main reasons for a slow deployment of digital health. The ways humans interact with technologies have greatly improved over the past few years. Voice-control, natural language, augmented and virtual reality are completely democratising the access to new technologies and the capacity for each individual, educated or not, young or old, with disability or not, to benefit from it. We will explore several examples of these game-changing technologies in healthcare.

Key topics: Smart healthy cities, IoT and health, Health in All Policies
