Like a well-engineered building designed to withstand pressure and evolve over time, Hospital IT must mirror the professionals it supports. Adapting quickly to every challenge, supercharging outcomes, and transforming patient care across the board. As healthtech reinforces the foundations of this hypothesised Nirvana brick by brick, how do we tackle the integration of these building blocks with existing systems?
Rooted in growth:
Your HLTH Europe 2025 Agenda
The landscapes where life thrives are varied and complex. From arid deserts to bountiful forests, nature evolves and organisms grow.
In every corner of the globe, plants reach to the sky, breaking through canopies, their roots spreading deep into fertile soil, drawing life from the rich earth. Just as these lush, rich landscapes flourish through the delicate interplay of sunlight, water, and soil, healthcare too thrives as a living, breathing organism.
We grow. We adapt. Nurtured by an unyielding commitment to patient well-being, improved access and healthier populations, we seek and embrace new ways of doing things and celebrate dynamic solutions crucial to nurturing a thriving system.
Growth prevails. It can be challenging. Uncomfortable. But it always prevails.
Our 2025 theme is growth in all its forms. Traditional care models are evolving, becoming more flexible and interconnected. But beneath the surface, the tangled roots of outdated IT systems can limit systems’ potential.
Today, AI is the ultimate accelerator. But just as nature can flourish with artificial enrichment, the long-term effects can be difficult to ascertain. Are we taking quick wins now, without understanding the future risks? Artificial boosters can bring rapid progress, but mask unseen dangers - are we trading growth today for unseen challenges tomorrow?
Mental health, an area of wild potential and abundant breakthroughs, from psychedelics to psychotherapy, are producing transformative results, though not yet fully integrated into mainstream care. It needs nurturing to become as strong and accessible as physical care.
Growth is not straightforward, linear or easy. Bureaucratic barriers and financial constraints can slow innovation, but with the right strategies, we can overcome these challenges.
The landscape may sometimes feel uncertain, but growth takes flight when nurtured by many hands. In healthcare, progress is faster and stronger when we innovate together, take bold steps, and support one another. In nature as in healthcare, growth thrives on collaboration, and with the right partners, we can scale unfathomable heights.
At HLTH Europe 2025, we are catalysing growth. By cultivating innovation and interconnectivity and by breaking down barriers, we are nurturing a stronger, more inclusive healthcare system. Our agenda tackles this in the following nine key topics for 2025:
Key themes for HLTH Europe 2025
Clicks and mortar: How Hospital IT is changing healthcare
Charting GPT: Mapping the next steps for data and AI
AI is helping healthcare set sail into uncharted waters, with data the wind in our sails and the potential treasure on the horizon seemingly limitless. But can healthcare keep its compass true when it comes to ethics, equity and fairness?
Breaking the mould: New models of care
Quickly now, quickly! There's limited room. Step aboard the HLTH Europe time machine as we whizz into the near future. A future where cutting-edge technology, data-driven innovation, and human-centred care converge to redefine healthcare globally.
Shaping the health systems of tomorrow: A glimpse into the future, today
Navigate these new landscapes with us, as health systems synchronise like never before. Picture AI-driven pathways, rippling through time like the butterfly effect - each and every tiny step sparking future waves of transformation across the globe. The future of healthcare is here, where every decision echoes into a healthier tomorrow.
Access granted: The health equity evolution
Breaking down barriers. Tearing down walls. Removing roadblocks. The language around equity is as bombastic as it is imperative. But equity without access is merely an ideal; it is only through genuine, actionable steps to transform access to care for all that these crucial issues can truly be addressed.
Bureaucracy and balance sheets: Bridging the innovation/reimbursement gap
Healthcare needs regulation. Healthcare needs innovation. Two sentences we can all agree on. Two sentences that can sometimes seem diametrically opposed. Where does the balance lie between tech’s propensity to move fast and break things, and the system's rightfully rigorous rules?
Mind matters: Shaping the future of mental and behavioural health
In June 2023 an EU study revealed that nearly half the EU population - 46% - had experienced emotional or psychosocial issues, such as depression and anxiety, within the previous year. With resources at breaking point, hear from the providers, systems and innovators finding new ways to summit the mental health mountain.
Blueprints to breakthroughs: scaling healthtech to new heights
There are few things as simultaneously daunting and thrilling as starting something new. Launching an idea from the safe womb of hypothesis into the chaos of infanthood. But with careful nurturing, you’ll watch as your idea grows. Slowly at first, ever so slowly. Then accelerating. Fast. Rapid, blinding, giddy growth. And then…well that’s the question. How to scale? If launch is chaos, scaling can be calamity.
