🌍 Shaping the Future of European Public Health 🌟 At the 17th European Public Health Conference 2024 in Lisbon, we explored the cutting-edge innovations driving progress in public health across Europe. The discussions, collaborations, and shared insights during the conference inspired the latest issue of Eurohealth: "Sailing the Waves of European Public Health: Exploring a Sea of Innovation" This publication dives deep into transformative digital health solutions, policy advancements, and practices redefining healthcare systems. It’s a testament to the power of collaboration and knowledge exchange fostered during the conference.

Check out this. The issue of the Eurohealth also includes an introduction of the themes of the 18th European Public Health Conference 2025 in Helsinki

🌟 Exciting news from WHO Europe's 74th Regional Committee meeting! 🚀🌍 Last week, I witnessed a pivotal moment at the 74th session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe! Member States and partners unanimously supported the development of a groundbreaking "Strategy for Harnessing Innovation for Public Health in the WHO European Region 2025-2030." It was inspiring to hear Member States emphasize the urgency of this strategy, with 🔗 a clear call to bridge the gap between private sector innovation and public health systems. It’s time to align our efforts! 🔮 We must ensure that public health systems stay ahead of the curve regarding disruptive technologies and scientific breakthroughs, rather than being reactive in their regulatory roles. No more playing catch-up! 💡 This is the 4th Industrial Revolution—integrating public health into this technological transformation is not an option, but a necessity. We’re not merely observers; we’re active participants! 🌍 What sets the WHO European region apart is that innovations and institutions are largely in place. However, there remains a significant opportunity to harness the value of innovation that often lies at the intersection of science and the public sector through multistakeholder collaboration. 📈 There’s a growing consensus around enhancing understanding of innovation leadership and management within public health to maximize innovation impact. 🎯 The public sector should be capacitated to articulate its innovation needs, paving the way for solutions that address key gaps. It’s time to rethink the governance and financing model for the innovation ecosystem! While the regional strategy isn't a silver bullet, it is certainly a crucial step in the right direction. As the saying goes, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single bold step." https://lnkd.in/eTTTMwcF

Outcome Capital's Karl Hess will be speaking on the When Digital Health Meets Life Sciences Panel at the McDermott Will & Emery Digital Health Forum on Wednesday April 10-11th at the Quorum by Convene in NYC. Come listen as he discusses: - How #digitalhealth is impacting traditional #lifesciences business models - Which #digitalhealth technologies & capabilities are going to help drive the next wave of #lifesciences innovation - How ‘digital’ is creating new opportunities in the space between traditional “#lifesciences” and traditional “#healthcare”

In the rapidly advancing field of digital health, achieving meaningful engagement is pivotal to the success of innovations designed for chronic and long-term care. But how can we design solutions that maximise clinical value without overwhelming users or healthcare professionals? The new Research Topic of Frontiers in Digital Health, Designing for Engagement in Digital Health for Chronic and Long-Term Care, accepts submissions on this important theme and invites contributions exploring behavioral frameworks, engagement strategies, barriers to uptake, and practical applications for diverse populations. Submit your research using this link https://lnkd.in/gTi-eFQU and join the dialogue on shaping the future of digital health.

Houston Methodist and Rice University are teaming up to revolutionize health care through the new Digital Health Institute. This initiative will focus on researching digital health technologies and training and educating health care leaders. ➡️Learn more: https://ow.ly/XiSV50Uuw6K

🌍 What if the world we see is only a fraction of the story? Join us for an insightful seminar on 14 January (12:00–13:30, campus UZ, room Together, The Core) and discover how realist research can help untangle the complexities of healthcare. Speakers: Fien Mertens & Yaël Slaghmuylder 🔍 Explore key questions like: How do interventions really work in diverse communities? What hidden mechanisms drive health outcomes? How can we anticipate the effects of health policies on (vulnerable) communities? By adopting a realist lens, we move beyond surface-level results to uncover the deeper, often hidden, factors shaping public health practices and outcomes. This seminar will showcase concrete research applications, actionable insights, and practical tips to incorporate this powerful research paradigm into your work. Prepare for the unexpected. The world’s systems are more predictable than you think—if you know where to look. 👉 Register now to secure your spot and step into the future of impactful healthcare research! https://lnkd.in/gvrwpunU #HealthcareResearch #RealistResearch #PublicHealth #PolicyImpact

Digital health transformation is both urgently needed and challenging to achieve. In this conference we will look at why it is so important, what are some of the emerging solutions that could be adopted to transform, how we ensure inclusion of all in the digital age and what are the political and financial levers that will accelerate this transformation. Please come and find out in Bilbao, next month!
