What is HLTH? Well, it describes itself as a health innovation conference, and from what we’ve seen so far in Amsterdam, it’s very broad – in terms of both themes and audiences – and fairly loud. Big on ‘can-do’ energy, and the power of bringing people together. With a reasonable line in merch. The potential of tech, data and AI is central to much of what we’ve seen here so far, and the standout message from yesterday’s sessions was a wake-up call from Professor Ian Abbs, CEO of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, that without AI, “the fabric of health in high GDP countries is going to get fundamentally stressed”. “We have a massive supply-side problem: we are simply going to run out of people to deliver healthcare," he told a packed room. The NHS employs 1.5 million people, with a similar number employed in social care, and yet 52% of people surveyed in the UK are dissatisfied with healthcare. “We are out of road. We need a revolutionary moment. We’re going to have to change the world we’re in. Better, faster, fairer healthcare, delivered at lower cost, will need to have fewer people involved in the supply chain.” That was yesterday. Today, we've already sat in sessions on women's health, the changing role of biotech, and equitable access to clinical trials, as well as a keynote from Google’s Chief Health Officer, Karen DeSalvo. Updates incoming. To receive the HLTH Round-up Report post-event, sign up here: https://lnkd.in/eKX_PUtN #HLTHEurope #Healthcare #AI #Innovation 

🌟 Europe! It’s time to boldly build together to create a better and brighter system of care. 🌟 It was energizing for Alexandre Momeni and myself to meet with so many talented entrepreneurs and leaders across pharma, payers, providers and policy at HLTH Europe, all committed to making a difference in European healthcare. Here are a few of takeaways: ✅ An ambitious new generation of European digital health innovators is emerging. Following in the footsteps of Sword Health, Alan and Doctolib, companies like Doccla, Nabla, Corti and Causaly are pioneering world-class solutions to bridge the critical gaps in Europe’s healthcare infrastructure. They are creating a future instead of optimizing the present and their success will raise the bar, attracting more talent and investment in the space. ✅ Our academic health systems are undergoing a ‘renAIssance’. Lighthouse health systems like Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and Greater Paris University Hospitals - AP-HP are re-imagining their business models to shift care out of the hospital, making strategic investments and embracing innovative solutions to leapfrog their most pressing challenges, including with (Gen)AI. AI is not just a tool for efficiency; it’s a catalyst for more effective healthcare. ✅ Radical collaboration is the path to success. HLTH, with over 3,500 attendees from over 60 countries convening in Amsterdam, is proof that when we are bold and join together as a community, bringing the best minds and hearts together to engage and share ideas, we make progress. This is critical in Europe where the geographic and regulatory complexities of the market means greater coordination and intentionality is needed to achieve real system-level change instead of diffuse pockets of innovation. As an investor in European digital health for over a decade, I’m excited by how vibrant the ecosystem is becoming. At General Catalyst, we are committed to creating, investing, partnering and operating to enhance the resilience of European healthcare — all in the pursuit of Health Assurance. Let’s seize this moment!

Congratulations to Betty Saenyi, Osama Mansour 🇵🇸 and Christina Keller who have had their paper "Navigating governance challenges in a decentralised healthcare ecosystem" accepted at HICSS! Abstract: Polycentric governance has often been theorised as a desirable model for digital ecosystems due to its potential to spur innovation and enhance adaptability. However, in decentralised healthcare systems like Sweden's, low innovation rates and interoperability issues persist. This paper examines Sweden's efforts to achieve national digital health goals within its decentralised model. Analysing qualitative data from interviews and archival documents, we utilised the COOF framework (Context, Operations, Outcomes, Feedbacks) to assess the outcomes of the ecosystem's operational arrangements and its feedback pathways. We identified governance outcomes such as vendor lock-ins and inadequate digital adaptation structures. Furthermore, the presence of suboptimal feedback pathways and adjustment mechanisms explain the persistent governance challenges, which we refer to as governance opacity and over-reliance on regulation. By exploring the implications of polycentric governance, this study provides recommendations for enhancing collective action and enabling successful digital transformation in decentralised healthcare ecosystems.

🌐 Today, Europe takes one step closer to improving patient care by making it easier and faster for patients to access and control their health data and for data to be used to drive healthcare innovation. 🏛️ The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union have now reached a provisional agreement on the European Health Data Space, a new regulation making it easier to exchange and access health data at EU level. The agreement will now need to be endorsed by both the Council and the Parliament. 🔑 Once the law is in effect, key actors including policy makers, health data access bodies, healthcare service providers, health institutions, higher education providers, patient organisations and the digital medical devices industry will have a vital role to play in implementing the regulation - making its bold vision a reality. 📅 On April 18, at the EIT Health Summit in Rotterdam, we will be launching a new Think Tank report which identifies the key challenges these actors may face in implementing the European Health Data Space and how these can be overcome. 📊 Join us at the EIT Health Summit to as we reveal our ecosystem's unique insights into the implementation process and discuss how the vision for this vital regulation can be made a reality for the benefit of patients, Partners and innovators alike.

Corti is getting some great buzz coming out of HLTH Europe! Let's chat about how Corti can transform the healthcare conversation for your team! #corti

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. 🔆

Thanks for including me in your article! Interoperability is critical for improving patient care. We must do better and breakdown technological barriers to finally see the key benefits of information exchange and data aggregation across populations.
