International Initiative | Kick-off Event 10/11 May 2022 | digital
Are you ready for a better network within the European Healthcare Sector?
... let's rise to a new level!

About
Imagine you are developing a solution to a problem in the medtech sector and can bring your product to a unified market throughout Europe through interoperable systems and standardized EU approval processes.
Or you need medical care in another European country and your protected health data is always there, wherever you are.
That would be a milestone for a sustainable healthcare system in Europe - wouldn't it?
#nextleveldigital
The aim of the initiative visionhealth42 is to elaborate a joint vision for Europe: What can a digital network in healthcare look like at European level?
visionhealth42 offers an ideal platform to
-
strengthen international cooperation in healthcare,
-
benefit from innovations,
-
discuss data protection challenges and ethical concerns across borders,
-
jointly shape a sustainable and strong healthcare system at European level.
Let's shape our health together!

Topics
1. International Cooperation in Healthcare
2. Digitalisation & Innovation in Healthcare
3. Data Protection & Ethics
Challenges in the health sector require international cooperation at the highest level. The health system in the EU is a national matter but often in the hands of the country's regional politics. Hence why international cooperation is more difficult.
However, pandemics, such as Covid-19, and other diseases know no national borders.
visionhealth42, therefore, tries to find answers to the following questions:
-
What facilitations at EU level should be introduced to strengthen cooperation in the health sector?
-
How can we ensure interoperability in Europe on a technical, organizational, and semantic level?
-
Which European-wide standards should be created in order to jointly design a sustainable health system for Europe?
-
How can we unify the European market to increase international competitiveness?
Europe is characterized by a wealth of innovative ideas and applications for the health sector. However, there are often different and more difficult approval criteria for one and the same digital solution in different countries.
visionhealth42, therefore, explores the following questions:
-
What reimbursement models for digital applications and their integration into the health system exist in Europe? Best practice examples in Europe
-
How does the ideal Digital Patient Journey look like?
-
Which EU approval processes should be introduced to make the entire European market accessible for European medtech start-ups and innovations?
-
What should the funding strategies and models for Medtechs be to enable scaling?
Digital solutions enable efficiency, but data protection issues and ethics often stand in the way of progress through digitalization. With the GDPR, the EU has launched a milestone on data security and the protection of patient data. However, the adaptation of the GDPR to regional circumstances makes it difficult to handle this set of rules easily.
visionhealth42, therefore, explores the following questions:
-
How can patient data be exchanged securely - in a technical and ethical sense?
-
Storage location Europe: Is the European Health Data Space suitable for increasing international cooperation in the health sector?
-
How can European Open Standards and Open Source be created?
-
What should EU guidelines for AI and ethics look like?
Planned congress in 2023
The keynote speaker of visionhealth42 to be announced shortly.
Venue




Trieste
Trieste is well-known as the city of wind. Once an imperial-royal seaport, the city is located in Italy but is also the most southern city of nothern Europe. Many great poets and writers such as Rainer Maria Rilke and James Joyce are closely connected with the city. With its maritime charm, it has always been a melting pot of cultures. At the end of the 19th century, the culture of “coffeehouses” was in full bloom in Trieste and there were more than 500 newspapers and magazines in different languages. Trieste is a vibrant city where different cultures, people and religions have been living together for centuries - a flagship model that the European Union can only wish for. The city and its historic landscape always invite its guests to an entertaining and interesting excursion.

Hotel Savoia Excelsior Palace
With a spectacular view overlooking the Bay of Trieste, the Hotel Savoia Excelsior Palace is in an excellent location - right by the sea and in the middle of the city centre. The 4-star superior hotel is located in a beautifully restored, historic building from the 19th century. The meeting rooms are decorated with frescoed ceilings, impressive chandeliers and feature day light - for high-level meetings. Further information
