It is an obvious paradox that we as citizens, present in all clinical health encounters, lack tools to take full advantage of ongoing digital transformation in health care. In this panel we will discuss user needs and design of digital tool to improve access to personally relevant health information from trusted sources. Of special interest is adherence to treatment. The attendees can learn about opportunities to “collect, curate and control” relevant, personal health information, and digital services for personal health data and access trustworthy, up-to-date information that better meet situated, everyday needs.

“The Nordic Welfare Model is not sustainable!”, they said, ”Too much focus on healthcare and too little on preventative care will break the system going forward. We need to get the citizens more involved, not only in the care process but also in preventative care. The question is just – how?”

Digital interventions can have beneficial effects on our health and prescribing digital therapies is not in the distant future - for use in institutions and at home. While the benefits are encouraging for patients, next-of-kin, healthcare personnel and institutions, we need a deeper understanding of the nature of digital interventions that are powered by sensors, algorithms and apps. The understanding should help us answer questions like how we verify the clinical benefits of the therapies or if health systems have the expertise, regulations, organisational roles and health economic arrangements in place to adopt digital therapies.This talk reports on some initiatives in Scandinavia and Germany that address the development, testing, regulation and procurement of digital interventions. As a backdrop, the talk uses discussions in the Health Data Innovation Council (https://healthdatainnovation.eu) to highlight different aspects of data-driven health interventions and the implications across the continuum of care (prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care), health technology life cycle (design, testing, commercialization and operations) and oversight (approval, certification and regulation).

Every year, several million triages are performed in Sweden to evaluate and prioritize patients' medical needs. In the past, these assessments were conducted solely over the phone or at primary care centers, without any means of systematic evaluation. However, a groundbreaking shift is underway as Sweden digitizes its triage process, revolutionizing one of the most crucial processes in healthcare.Now, for the first time ever, patients' questions, responses, and advice can be analyzed systematically. The implications for patient safety and equity are profound, and it is essential to consider how this transformation affects vulnerable groups, such as the elderly and frail, who may not have access to digital tools. Join Jonathan Ilicki on a journey beyond the ordinary and gain unique insights into the pivotal role of triage in coordinating healthcare. Discover how digitization is transforming healthcare delivery in Sweden and shaping the future of medical care.

Women's health technology (femtech) is a burgeoning industry that seeks to develop personalized health solutions for individuals identifying as female. From menstruation and maternal healthcare to longevity and chronic care platforms, the global femtech market is anticipated to be worth over $50 billion by 2025. Yet, most digital health companies entering the femtech market fail to prioritize three crucial aspects to their products and businesses: (i) accuracy, (ii) privacy and security, and (iii) scalability. This presentation provides a roadmap to the key legal and ethical challenges facing women's health companies, and offers solutions to ensure these companies build robust and internationally scalable businesses that are capable of driving long-term innovation in women's health. 

Egenmonitorering kommer vara ett normalt inslag i framtidens vård, det kommer kräva nya teknologier och verktyg. Att vara medborgare och  patient på en vårdmarknad med tusentals aktörer och och extremt många datapunkter kräver nya sätt att interagera på. I en decentraliserad värld kan medborgaren samla och nyttiggöra data från multipla källor samt dela datan för ökat värdeskapande och person anpassad vård. MyData operatör eller Data intermediaries inom ett framtida European Health Data Space (EHDS) kräver inte bara certifiering utan även etisk styrning för ökad tillit. Var står vi idag, efter att under våren ha jobbat med Diabetes som användarfall, vad behöver vi fortsatt utveckla och vilka styrmedel krävs för att skapa tillit i den nya data delningsekonomin.
