In this talk, Ana Catarina Silva shares her journey through academia, diagnostics, and MedTech across Portugal, Italy, and Sweden, and how it ultimately led her to women’s health innovation and Akira Science. Reflecting on two decades at the intersection of science, culture, and leadership, she explores how purpose emerged through addressing one of the most overlooked areas in healthcare: breast cancer reconstruction. Her talk argues that women’s health is not a niche, but a compass for the future of medicine.

Healthcare regions and laboratories are facing rising data complexity and increasing demands for interoperability and precision medicine. Traditional Laboratory Information Management Solutions (LIMS) are not built for this environment. This session introduces how the Nordic Data Model provides a modern data architecture that connects laboratory data with clinical context and analytics, enabling a shift from volume-oriented operations to value driven services. Participants will see how this approach supports smarter testing, stronger decision making and scalable regional infrastructures.

Healthcare systems are undergoing rapid digital transformation, yet the workforce dimension is often overlooked. Remote and digitally enabled clinicians face professional isolation, fragmented collaboration, and limited support structures.This session presents insights from the Renos Hub pilot—an international digital community for remote healthcare professionals—and Teledermazonia, a clinical initiative developed within Renos Hub to support equitable specialist access in remote settings. The talk highlights how community-based digital infrastructures can strengthen workforce resilience, enable collaboration, and support sustainable digital health transformation.

AI is quickly becoming a core part of the workforce, yet unlike people, it lacks judgment, context, and accountability. As AI is expected to take on up to 50% of all work by 2045 and increasingly shape competition between organizations, the real challenge is not building AI, but deploying it safely and effectively at scale. This is where compliance becomes a strategic enabler, creating clarity, trust, and operational excellence that allows AI to deliver real value, not just legal protection.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, home isolation became a key model of care, with digital solutions often replacing physical encounters. This posed new challenges for maintaining person-centred care and tested digitalisation, professional responsibility, and organisational preparedness in health and social care. Based on the Nordic research project Innovations for Pandemia Isolation (PANDA), this presentation draws on qualitative interviews with clients and healthcare professionals in Finland and Sweden. The findings highlight that person-centred care in home isolation is a relational, ethical, and organisational responsibility, where continuity, professional presence, adapted communication, and participation remain crucial—even without physical meetings. The session offers practical insights relevant to eHealth, virtual care, and future crisis preparedness.
