The MIE conference has always been a hub for innovation and cutting-edge technology. This year was no exception several demonstrators showcase their unique solutions to healthcare problems. Use the opportunity to take a closer look at some of the most striking demonstrators present at the conference, highlighting their diversity and the potential impact they could have on various healthcare-related challenges

The Centre for Preventive Care is a speculative design project exploring the future of healthcare. In november 2022 visitors were invited to Södersjukhuset in Stockholm to experience a healthcare visit in the future and to reflect upon pros and cons of a healthcare system build on prediction and prevention. 

In this talk a brief overview of cybersecurity challenges with integrated IT/OT medical devices will be provided, along with current best practices for addressing them and open issues. Realistic attack scenarios will be used as examples to discuss the possible impact of the attack; ease of detection; risk of cascade effects; assets likely to be affected; stakeholders involved; security measures to prevent such attacks; handling the incident.

Electronic health record (EHR) systems have faced criticism and debate as these systems can be complex and difficult for users to navigate, particularly for those who are not trained in their use. This can lead to errors and inefficiencies, negatively impacting patient care and user satisfaction.By contextualizing criticism and transforming it into constructive feedback, system developers can gain valuable insights and use this feedback to make reasonable improvements. Transforming criticism into constructive feedback requires contextual understanding for helping to identify specific areas where improvements may be needed. In this presentation, some typical examples are given about acquiring more concrete and actionable feedback on situations where users have been disappointed or when they felt that something could be working in a better way.One of the key benefits of contextual user feedback is that it allows healthcare organizations to gather a wide range of perspectives on the EHR system to prioritize improvements. Systematic collection of user feedback also helps organizations to identify areas where additional training or support may be needed.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether clinician’s acknowledgement and adherence to Clinical Best Practice Advisories (BPA) system’s alerts improve the outcome of patients with chronic diabetes. 

This study has the overall aim to study physicians’ experiences of VCs, here focusing on their suggestions for future improvements. Twenty-two semi-structured interviews were performed with physicians working for an online healthcare provider in Sweden, and analyzed through inductive content analysis. Two themes emerged related to desired future improvements of VCs; blended care and technical innovation.

The momentum around openEHR is on the rise. And we will remember the year 2022 as the year when all the big players in the healthcare landscape have embraced openEHR as the standard for data persistence. Microsoft, Dedalus, EY, and many many more have joined the openEHR community and as EY stated in its latest document, openEHR is the only international open health data standard that can cater for the complexity of health semantics and is designed for persistence.
In the session, we will hear it from the co-chair of the openEHR International, an organisation that is actively promoting lifelong, patient‑centric shared health records, future‑proof data, and clinical process support. Tomaž Gornik is an openEHR visionary who has been promoting openEHR and other open standards for more than 20 years, and who has a proven track record of delivering innovative turn-key solutions, as well as state-of-the-art technology, architectures, and processes.
What are the benefits that the openEHR standard and a modular ecosystem based on open data bring? What can we learn from openEHR cases across Europe? How can we build on the momentum of this year and what will the future in digital healthcare bring? In his lecture, Gornik will answer all of these questions, present the concrete use-cases and lessons learned with real-world deployments, and try to explain how could openEHR benefit the healthcare system of Sweden.

Use of international standards is increasingly relevant for national e-health development. The international standardization organizations strengthen their cooperation and work targeted on common functional areas. At the same time, the EU is strengthening its work for the common use of standards in Europe. In order to achieve a faster development of solutions using the standards that affect us, the Nordic countries have strengthened their cooperation on standardization through the Nordic Council of Ministers' work on e-health.

The presentation will introduce a Nordic research network in health and welfare technology (HWT). The research network has around 80 members from all the Nordic countries and aims to consolidate knowledge, research, higher education, and experiences in health and welfare technology with a user perspective. The purpose of the presentation is to inform about ongoing activities and to link more researchers to the network. The network also wants to be a contributor with knowledge about HWT for the authorities in the Nordic countries.
