Big day yesterday for European Society of Radiology and European Federation for Cancer Images (EUCAIM), as our very own Regina Beets-Tan, MD, PhD, together with Luis Marti-Bonmati, presented the Joint Statement on Advancing Precision Medicine with AI-powered Imaging at the #EUHPP Annual Meeting. European Federation for Cancer Images (EUCAIM) – the flagship project of the European Cancer Imaging Initiative – is our dedicated effort to harness AI-powered imaging to combat cancer across Europe. 🔬 What we try to solve: each year, 2.7 million Europeans are diagnosed with cancer, and 1.3 millions lose their lives. Without further action, diagnoses could exceed 3.2 million by 2040. 📜 Our Joint Statement outlines 10 strategic measures to enhance cancer care through AI and data integration, including: ✅ Robust AI guidelines 🌐 Enhanced data quality & infrastructure 🤝 Interdisciplinary research collaboration 🩺 Patient-centered & equitable access to AI tools ...and more! We were thrilled to receive positive feedback and support from the European Commission's representatives from DG CNCET and DG SANTE, who praised the impressive number of stakeholders already supporting the Joint Statement and noted that the goal of AI powered precision medicine is well aligned with the EU’s digital health policies, most importantly Europe’s Beating Cancer plan, whose implementation continues to be a priority of the Commission. They welcomed our focus on high-quality health data and AI development - which are transformative for healthcare – and pointed that European Federation for Cancer Images (EUCAIM)’s network can offer best practices & tools, to support the implementation of the EHDS regulation and engage with national stakeholders. Furthermore, EUCAIM’s approach aligns with their focus on interdisciplinarity, equitability, and data quality. All in all - we are excited for future collaborations! ✅📜🔬 🔚 Reflecting on the European Federation for Cancer Images (EUCAIM) experience and what the EU could further do, Regina Beets-Tan, MD, PhD emphasized the importance of enhancing AI capabilities in centers that are not yet experts. She highlighted that making a significant difference in digital health requires collaboration and guiding healthcare providers towards shared goals. 💪 Endorse Our Joint Statement: support our vision to transform digital health and advance precision medicine in cancer care.

🌐 Democracy at work - the European Health Data Space from concept to reality 📊 The European Health Data Space (EHDS) is a landmark piece of legislation designed to empower citizens to take control of their health data while promoting the ability to reuse data for the benefit of society as a whole. The final #EHFG2024 plenary, co-organised with EU Health and Food Safety, reviewed the EHDS’s progress to date and explored its implementation challenges and opportunities from various perspectives. Key takeaways: 💡 Citizen empowerment: The #EHDS places individuals in control of their health data, enabling seamless access for both personal and cross-border healthcare needs. 🔒 Data privacy & security: Guided by GDPR principles, the EHDS establishes a secure framework for health data sharing, respecting privacy and enhancing trust. 🌍 Collaboration drives progress: Success hinges on cooperation among Member States, stakeholders, and citizens, as well as building trust, fostering digital literacy, and addressing infrastructure disparities. 🌐 Overcoming interoperability challenges: Cross-border data sharing is essential for the EHDS to succeed. Initiatives like the European Electronic Health Record Exchange Framework aim to connect systems and standardise governance across the EU. 🚀 Innovation for public good: By reusing health data responsibly, the EHDS aims to benefit society through advances in research, policymaking, and healthcare delivery. 🛠️ Next steps: Stakeholders are focussed on addressing challenges in digital readiness and implementation, with full-scale deployment targeted for 2028.

EACH Partners have entrusted the European Society of Cardiology to continue providing Secretariat support for the Alliance in 2025 🎉 ! The Alliance has grown to 2️⃣1️⃣ European and international health organisations who have joined forces to call on the EU to elaborate an ambitious plan to address the burden of CVD and really make a difference by improving the lives of millions of people. Together, we can do more to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease, which is still the leading cause of death in Europe and impacting the lives of millions of Europeans every day. #CVHealthForAll

Healthy populations are essential for Europe to achieve its vision of a secure, competitive, and prosperous continent. Yet, European health systems are navigating a perfect storm. Amid these challenges, we must not lose sight of the extraordinary era we are living in—one of rapidly advancing science and innovation, transforming health and unlocking new possibilities for Europe’s present and future generations. Keeping the health sector high on the political agenda is essential for the well-being of Europeans, a resilient workforce, the growth of the EU economy, and the security of Europe. This is why, during this EU mandate, we need a robust and integrated strategy for health policy. What needs to be done in practice?
