In this presentation, Kaisa Kujansivu, Chief Medical Officer at Pihlajalinna, describes how the disruptive nature of AI has started to affect the whole organisation. A nature that all healthcare providers who decide to use AI on a large scale must understand!

After announcing the winner of the NORDeHEALTH 2024 benchmarking battle, we will end our session with a panel discussion. Christel Bengtner from Inera AB will reflect on the identified differences between patient portals - what are Inera's plans in these areas? What can be learned from other countries implementations of patients' online record access? Then our panel members from Sweden (Rose-Mharie Åhlfeldt and Christel Bengtner), Norway (Asbjørn Johansen Fagerlund), Finland (Sari Kujala), and Estonia (Anna Dudkina) will discuss partnership between research and practice - how do we ensure that the results from research can have an impact on practice? And how we ensure that researchers focus on issues of importance to practice? 

The International patient Summary (IPS) is an extract of an electronic health record containing essential healthcare information to support cross-border and unscheduled patient care. The IPS also has the potential to be used in many other scenarios where a patient crosses health information systems, like travel between provinces/states, cities or organizations that use a different Health Information System. The implementation and support for the IPS comes from a commitment by the G7 and Global Digital Health Partnership. International standards organisations have come together to deliver on this commitment, with SNOMED International providing the free global set of clinical terms to support it's implementation. The development and expansion of the use of the IPS and the SNOMED free set is making a real difference to cross border care globally, and to interoperability specifically

Dermatologists are uniquely trained and experienced in managing all aspects of skin health, making them invaluable healthcare providers for individuals seeking treatment for dermatological concerns. Their medical training is to "see" and "remember" dermatology pathologies. During their lifetime they see about 200 000 dermatology pathologies. In 2018 we trained a deep neural network on 55,364 smartphone images of dermatology pathologies in 8 hours and used the artificial intelligence model in a primary care setting. Referrals to a dermatologist could have been prevented in 34% of cases, in 60% of the cases the AI model helped the primary care physician diagnose correctly and 92% of the primary care physicians loved the AI decision support tool.

By imposing more strict cybersecurity requirements, NIS2 aims to enhance the overall security posture of critical healthcare entities such as SaaS companies and the sensitive data they manage. This heightened focus on cybersecurity translates into increased protection for patient data, fostering trust and confidence in digital healthcare services.As SaaS companies adapt to the regulatory landscape, the resulting improvements in cybersecurity not only mitigate risks but also position these companies as trustworthy partners in the healthcare ecosystem. Patients benefit from knowing that their data is handled with the utmost care, fostering greater acceptance and utilization of digital healthcare services. Companies that proactively adapt to these changes strengthen their positions in the market, demonstrating a commitment to cybersecurity and the protection of sensitive healthcare information. Learn how to be among those that do, and how modern tools and technology cost-effectively support your security stance to live up to the requirements of NIS2.

Following the presentations of research from the NORDeHEALTH project we proceed with the benchmarking battle! We will present a number of identified differences in functionality and content of the national patient accessible electronic health records in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Estonia - and let audience decide which version is best! Don't miss this opportunity to vote.  Once the results are tallied, we will announce the winner of the 2024 NORDeHEALTH benchmarking battle! 

Nowadays, patient-centred care is increasingly recognized as essential for effective healthcare delivery- Sweden, Finland, Norway and Estonia have been at the forefront of embracing patient input as a cornerstone of their health information management strategies. We studied with Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish colleagues how people in different countries use patient-accessible health records and what their wishes and preferences are. Throughout this session, we will explore the innovative approaches  to incorporate patient-generated data into their health records systems. 

OpenEHR isn't just about the data. It is about shaping a smarter, more efficient, and patient-centric healthcare ecosystem. As the demand for sharing healthcare data continues to grow, it is important to ensure constant data flow within the hospitals and beyond with the help of innovative solutions and state-of-the-art technology. 

The roll-out of digital innovation across all tiers of healthcare provision can inherently result in some patients finding it harder or indeed impossible to use new digital models of accessing care. You will hear about national UK NHS work undertaken to understand how to overcome barriers to creating digitally equitable pathways, in both hospital and primary care. Find out what tools, knowledge and guidance is needed to achieve Inclusive Digital Transformation across clinical pathways.

Medical device security is all about patient safety, a need we all recognize; it is a responsibility we all share; and it is a challenge that we need to face together.In this session, we will discuss how medical device manufacturers can support healthcare providers in securing their operating environment. We will share insight into the industry-standard ways-of-working in medical device cybersecurity. And we will explore how we can better work together to protect the safety of our patients.

This presentation highlights the variety in policies for minors’ and guardian online access to minors’ electronic health records, comparing four Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Estonia).

Sector Convergence in a health tech angle is all about the transformation within the mobility and pharma industry, and how you can find solutions in areas you normally don´t expect. This is about how the industry sectors converge, how new collaborations occur and what and why AstraZeneca and Volvo Cars choose to collaborate. Come and listen to this story and be part of how innovation of tomorrow could be done.

In this presentation, we will compare patients who have received mental healthcare's experiences of having online record access (ORA) between Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Estonia. Psychiatric records online are offered to patients in all four countries, and provide the same functionality and similar psychiatry information. The results presented in this talk are based on the NORDeHEALTH 2022 Patient survey consisting of 45 questions, including demographic variables and questions related to users' experiences with ORA. We will focus on the questions concerning positive experiences (benefits), negative experiences (errors, omissions, offence), and breaches of security and privacy.

Explore the world of Digital Therapeutics (DTx) in the presentation, "DTx: From Concept to Market." I'll cover key aspects such as cost considerations, time-to-market strategies, regulatory compliance (including MDR), technology challenges, and European reimbursement schemes. The audience will gain insights to navigate the DTx landscape efficiently and effectively. 

In the NORDeHEALTH project, we benchmarked the usability of Estonian, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish patient portals offering patients online access to their electronic health records (EHR). In this presentation, Sari Kujala from Aalto University will tell us more about the results. Which country had the best System Usability Score? What were the most positive and negative experiences across countries?
