- Sam Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence
“The Health Transformation Summit brought together inspiring leaders and bold ideas, all pointing toward one shared goal: transforming healthcare to meet tomorrow’s needs. It clearly showed a shared understanding across countries: we need more prevention, more care at home, better use of AI and digital tools, and stronger collaboration to reduce the pressure on hospitals. Also, it was an inspiring reminder that we’re not alone in facing these challenges—and that transformation is already underway.”
- Christophe Pedroletti, CEO, Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden
“The Summit was a great opportunity to dig into the detail with leaders in the field in a way that isn’t possible at traditional conferences. Some of the debates about the new world of digital health regulation and how we measure value were particularly helpful. It felt like it was ‘digital health – behind the headlines’. I look forward to next year.”
