The first edition of HLTH Europe has been wrapped up earlier this week, and it was an great experience. What excites me the most is seeing so many professionals working towards the same goal—driving the necessary changes in our healthcare systems which are facing the same issues, and are under immense pressure by rising elderly population, scare healthcare staffing and available funding. Here are a few reflections and themes from my discussions with new and existing connections, as well as from some of the insightful talks during the event: 1.    AI in Healthcare 🤖 AI is a major focus and a crucial tool for addressing many of the challenges we are facing including staff shortages and a bigger group of chronic ill expected to increase in the coming decades. Innovative initiatives like Huma "10x Nurse", mentioned by Dan Vahdat and the implementations done by Corti (Andreas Cleve), shows the potential of AI in alleviating this burden. 2.    Evolving Reimbursement Models 💰 While the evolution of reimbursement models in digital health has been slow, it's encouraging to see progress. As Katherine Ward noted, it's been like "playing tennis without a partner." However, there's a positive outlook, with Peter Hames stating that "the time is now for radical changes in reimbursement models." 3.    The Rise of Digital Biomarkers 📊 Digital biomarkers are emerging, offering improved screening, risk stratification, and treatment options. This development is promising but will require time for both development and adoption. The panel discussion led by Katie Baca-Motes highlighted some compelling examples from Ryan Field and Manuel Marina Breysse of this gradual yet impactful progress. Despite a lot of challenges ahead the future looks bright. 🔆
