Six years experience with mixed reality in surgical planning

Presentation of the six years of experience in using mixed reality applications in planning liver and heart surgery at Oslo University Hospital. Description of research, development and implementation of clinical applications from image data to surgical strategies in 3D. It was initiated by clinicians based on clinical challenges to be fully compatible with clinical reality. Efficient workflow, fully integrated with hospital infrastructures cloud/browser-based with no need for specialized workstations.Ample experience is derived from surgical planning sessions for colorectal liver cancers and structural heart diseases. Not only limited to the most complex surgical cases. In pediatric heart surgery, holographic visualization brings enhanced 3D anatomical understanding of complex heart defects. It provides insight that reduces the risk of damaging critical structures in the surgical area. Holographic information impacts surgical plans in about half of the tested cases.In liver cancer surgery, holographic visualization brings anatomical overview and improves spatial understanding of internal anatomical structures in relation to the tumour. This is important when planning intricate surgical paths within the liver. Additionally, it better utilizes already available preoperative data to be used in surgical planning as an adjunct to the standard of care.Industrial collaboration has been vital in the establishment of minimum viable products as well as in establishing a start-up. This paved a path towards regulatory approvals and the distribution of applications for clinical use outside our hospital. We will present published and unpublished results from our department - where we have failed and succeeded and what we have learned in the process.Finally, we will provide a glimpse of the future trend in the current project and what is coming next.

“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?”

Benchmarking the Impact of Noise on Deep Learning-based Classification of Atrial Fibrillation in 12-Lead ECG

We benchmark the influence of four types of noise annotated in the public dataset PTB-XL on the accuracy of a Deep Learning-based method for atrial fibrillation detection in 12-lead ECGs. For this we use the noise metadata provided by human experts as well as a quantitative signal-to-noise ratio for assigning a signal quality to each ECG and analyze the respective DL accuracy. We conclude that the issue of processing noisy electrocardiography data can be addressed successfully by Deep Learning methods.

MIE: Special Topic: Caring is Sharing - exploiting value in data for health and innovation, English, On site only, Panel, Advanced
The European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) project Health Data Sweden (HDS), initiated in January 2023, aims to support this development by creating a more effective access to services to regarding digitalisation of the health care system both regionally and nationally, through the use of health data. The HDS connects 17 partners from all over Sweden, who currently offer services in health data and related fields such as digital care and e-health, to various target groups and stakeholders. HDS will also connect with other EDIHs throughout Europe, to transfer knowledge and share best practices concerning the use of health data and related fields, in order to improve healthcare on the EU level.In this panel, we will present some of the main challenges and needs in the health data context identified by the partners behind EDIH-HDS, and discuss how the project will address these obstacles. The five main work packages (the focus of WP1 is primarily administrative) will provide the structure for the presentation. In order to engage the audience and stimulate feedback and discussion, the panel will contain interactive elements throughout.

Open Stage, Swedish, On site only
Vi beskriver hur man genom öppna system och standardiserad data kan öka kvalitet och tillgänglighet och därmed förenkla för vårdpersonal och patienter. När data följer patienten i stället för att vara bunden till ett system förbättrar vi inte bara kvalitén inom vård och omsorg, vi skapar även förutsättningar för preventiv och nära vård.
Digital triage – a paradigm shift in healthcare

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.
Digitala hjälpmedel i socialtjänst och hälso- och sjukvård – i Västra Götaland löser regionen och kommunerna detta tillsammans

En jämlik tillgång till digitala hjälpmedel (välfärdsteknik och hälso- och sjukvårdsprodukter) är en förutsättning för att lyckas med omställningen till en god och nära vård och omsorg. Men att införa ny teknik är svårt och resurskrävande. Därför har regionen och kommunerna i Västra Götalands län utvecklat en modell för att samarbeta kring en gemensam försörjning av digitala hjälpmedel för både hälso- och sjukvård och socialtjänst. Läkemedelsrobotar och digitala blodtrycksmätare är exempel på hjälpmedel som kommer finnas att tillgå genom den gemensamma hjälpmedelscentralen redan 2023.

Efterfrågan på kunniga patientrepresentanter växer. Allt fler vill ha med patienternas perspektiv inom forskning och utveckling av medicinteknik och läkemedel för att säkra att nya behandlingar och produkter är relevanta för patienters behov och för att dra nytta av deras erfarenheter.
I denna föreläsning presenterasRoadmap till patientdelaktighet – hur kan patienter bidra till innovation och utveckling? Användarmedverkan i praktiken – hur gör man?Goda exempel
EUPATI Sverige och Medtech4Health berättar om patientdelaktighet från ett patient- och industriperspektiv och hur man gör för att få bra resultat.

Produktinformationen struktureras i mindre informationsmängder och på ett mer filtrerbart sätt än informationen i de pdf-dokument som används idag. En första pilot där företag och Läkemedelsverket testar att strukturera, kommentera och publicera texter kommer att pågå under 2023.Under de kommande åren kommer Läkemedelsverket att arbeta dels med det nationella projektet, dels med projektet på europeisk nivå under ledning av EMA. De två projekten strävar i slutändan mot samma mål och erfarenheter kommer att delas mellan myndigheterna.Idag finns redan strukturerade källor för viss information som återfinns i produktinformationen. Läkemedelsverket som är primär källa till godkänd produktinformation vill publicera strukturerad produktinformation på Läkemedelsverkets webbplats som öppen data. Vidarebrukare av informationen kan exempelvis utveckla färdiga sökfunktioner, eller kombinera informationen med annan e-hälso-information i användarstöd.

Som vårdgivare kan man ibland se möjligheter med en CE-märkt medicinteknisk produkt som redan används i verksamheten; kanske ett nytt användningsområde, en ny kombination med andra produkter eller en specifik konfiguration. I denna presentation tittar vi på vad som utgör en egentillverkad medicinteknisk produkt och vilka skyldigheter man har som tillverkare enligt den medicintekniska förordningen (MDR).

The potential of quality health and wellness apps in addressing European healthcare challenges such as an ageing population and chronic diseases putting pressure on healthcare budgets, unequal quality and access to healthcare services and shortage of health professionals, is widely recognized. Yet consensus on what makes a quality health app has been lacking. Patients, citizens and healthcare professionals do not have the means to recognize the quality health apps. Authorities struggle to efficiently assess health apps and manufacturers are faced with a multitude of frameworks and difficulties to increase uptake and reimbursement. All of the above inspired the European Commission to commission CEN-ISO/TS 82304-2:2021 "Health and wellness apps - Quality and reliability".
