This presentation shares the concept and initial results of a pioneering, scientifically founded didactic approach in German nursing education: the use of Augmented Reality (AR) patient simulations in combination with case-based learning to promote critical thinking and clinical decision-making skills. We discuss how a unique, error-tolerant learning environment is created to combat observed student deficits in clinical reasoning and contribute directly to patient safety. The DHBW Stuttgart is the first German university to implement the HoloPatient software for this purpose.

In this session, Tomaž Gornik will build on the Postmodern EHR concept and explore how it is now maturing through two powerful forces: artificial intelligence and national-scale platform deployments. What began as an architectural vision is increasingly becoming the operating model for regions, countries, and large healthcare systems seeking both innovation and long-term resilience.

Sparked is Australia's National FHIR Accelerator , a community of over 1400 delivering the foundational clinical data models, FHIR Implementation Guides and SNOMED CT Value Sets to enable the modernisation of Australia's National Health Infrastructure and future Health Information Exchange.  This presentation will provide an overview of the approach to community development, standards development and governance that has established Sparked as one of the largest and most active standards development accelerators.

Many wellness and lifestyle apps unintentionally cross into the territory of regulated medical software. We’ll show founders, product managers, and investors how to recognise when an app becomes a medical device, the risks of ignoring this, and how to seize the opportunity instead. Practical insights from Revolve’s experience will help innovators future-proof their products.

AI is everywhere in healthcare software, but when is it actually safe? This session explains what separates regulated medical-grade AI from uncontrolled tools, how manufacturers manage LLM unpredictability, and what questions buyers should ask any vendor claiming clinical AI capabilities.

The talk will explain the full journey of creating a Software as a Medical Device from concept to certification. It will outline the key stages including defining intended use, design and usability engineering, regulated software development, clinical evaluation strategies and the CE marking process. The session will also highlight differences between class I and higher class SaMD products which require more rigorous controls and notified body involvement. The presentation will share realistic minimum timelines and cost ranges based on completed European projects to help companies plan their investment and avoid common pitfalls.

A digital therapies pilot is currently underway in Finland, building on an already established national quality framework for health apps - digiHTA. The aim of the trial is to determine how digital therapies – such as evidence-based digital therapies and self-care programs – could be made available to users with public funds. The trial will offer healthcare professionals and their patients the opportunity to try out for free how digital treatments support holistic treatment success. All solutions are evaluated using Finland’s national digiHTA assessment framework. The results will inform future national recommendations and reimbursement models.
