AI & Digitalisation

Artificial intelligence is no longer limited by technological capability; it is increasingly shaped by the quality of the digital ecosystems in which it operates. As healthcare organizations continue their digital transformation and generate unprecedented volumes of health data, the opportunity is no longer simply to develop smarter algorithms, but to create connected digital healthcare environments that transform data into actionable insights, improve patient care, strengthen operational resilience, and support more informed decision-making. Initiatives such as the European Health Data Space (EHDS) reflect a growing recognition that trusted, interoperable, and accessible health data are fundamental to unlocking the full potential of AI and digital innovation across healthcare systems. 

This thematic session explores how healthcare organisations are moving beyond experimentation towards implementation at scale. Bringing together perspectives from healthcare providers, technology innovators, and academia, speakers will discuss how digital transformation and AI are being embedded into clinical and operational practice while addressing challenges related to interoperability, data quality, governance, workforce readiness, and trust. The discussion will examine what is needed to translate digital innovation into measurable impact and create more connected, resilient, and patient-centred healthcare systems.
