Connected Health in Turbulent Times: Innovating Resilient Systems Together
Healthcare is changing rapidly, driven by new technologies such as AI and digital solutions that are reshaping how care is delivered. These developments create new opportunities to improve quality, increase efficiency, and make healthcare more accessible and affordable. At the same time, healthcare systems are facing increasing pressure, requiring more connected and adaptable approaches to move beyond pilots and implement solutions in daily practice.
In this evolving and increasingly turbulent context, there is a growing need to bridge existing challenges in healthcare systems, both in the Netherlands and globally. This includes strengthening collaboration across sectors, addressing gaps in accessibility and affordability, and ensuring that innovation contributes to more inclusive areas such as women’s health and broader global health priorities.
This years key themes:
-
AI & Digitalisation in Healthcare: AI and digital technologies are transforming healthcare delivery, from diagnostics and decision support to smarter, more personalised care.
-
MedTech & Innovation in Practice: Medical technologies are reshaping care delivery by enabling earlier diagnosis, more precise treatment, and improved patient outcomes.
-
Health Systems Strengthening: Healthcare systems are under pressure and need to become more efficient, accessible, and future-ready through new models of care.
