Main Topics

Artificial Intelligence Beyond Limits

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning solutions are transforming the way healthcare is provided. From faster diagnostics to the discovery of new links between genetic codes to robot-assisted surgery, the use of AI in healthcare is driving medical treatment and patient experience. Is AI reinventing modern healthcare through machines that can predict, understand, learn and act? This is something worth discussing…!

Rethinking the Innovation Pathway

How? Questioning is the best starting point to come up with answers. How to promote ideas, how to retain talent, how to receive proper training and guidance from experts, how to speed up business, how to... Rethinking the Path of Innovation is the first step in redefining the future of healthcare.

Digital Health Trends and Tendencies

The alliance between technology and people, from healthcare professionals to users, is already there. From telemedicine to data processing, from wearable devices such as smartwatches to augmented reality in clinical settings, there is a whole world of digital health to explore.

Global Health & Climate Transition

Climate change is not just an environmental crisis but a public health emergency, given its potential to multiply physical and mental healthcare needs. It's not just the elderly, the population experiencing economic difficulties and people with a health condition who face the greatest risk of mortality – climate change will have a major impact on global health. And the entire environmental footprint of the healthcare sector must also be taken into account.

Innovation Towards a Better Life

Talking about innovation is not just talking about new products or services; it's talking about the creation and spread of new processes and methods that may lead us to new business opportunities, professions and work environments.

Better machinery, more effective equipment, environmental-friendly buildings, better software, data processing, research and development (R&D), design, intellectual property... Innovation is key to addressing profound social and global challenges and may improve our quality of life!

Global Health and Global Policies

National and global healthcare systems, including medical care and public healthcare services, the allocation of resources between countries and organisations, and the practical implementation of programs while solutions for the achievement of health objectives are some of the issues to be discussed. The health challenges are global!

Universal Coverage: Myth or Reality

Governments, the private sector and civil society are three key elements of an urgent debate. We will bring together several countries, with different realities and experiences, to find answers to some of the most pressing questions.

Health Policies: the Urgency of New Ideas

To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare systems, to prevent disease, to promote quality of life… there is a world of possibilities and opportunities that can be factored in in healthcare policies. The time to make the change is now!
