Morning Keynote | AI Unpacked & Women’s Health Reimagined | Thursday, 12 June 2025 | 09:15 – 10:30 | Le Grand Amphithéâtre
AI is everywhere, but are you truly engaging with it beyond the headlines? This session goes beyond the buzz to offer practical insights for hospital leaders looking to implement AI effectively. We’ll explore real-world tips for deployment, unpack what the EU AI Act means for healthcare organisations, and examine how patients are already embracing AI in their health journeys, and how you can too! In the second half of the session, we turn our focus to women’s health: where innovation is urgently needed, how AI can help close the gap, and why investing in this space is not only necessary but smart. Join us for a dynamic, forward-looking discussion that bridges policy, practice, and people.
A key part of the session will spotlight how patients themselves are already engaging with AI in meaningful ways. Gözde Briggs, Programme Manager at the European Patients’ Forum, a Gravitate Health partner, will share insights on how patients are using AI technologies to support their health journeys.
Session | The Patient Perspective: How Are PROMs Shaping Healthcare | Thursday, 12 June 2025 | 12:10 – 13:00 | Room 143
Treatment success is no longer defined solely by clinical outcomes; it is increasingly measured by the patient experience. Quality of life is emerging as a critical factor in reshaping healthcare services and solutions. This session will highlight the findings of the Patient-Reported Indicator Surveys (PaRIS) initiative, which captures outcomes and experiences directly from individuals living with chronic conditions. An all-patient panel will provide firsthand perspectives on the growing emphasis on patient-centred care, offering insights into what truly matters to people when it comes to improving their quality of life. Participants at this session will:- Understand the role of patient-reported outcomes in modern healthcare
- Analyse key findings from the PaRIS initiative Examine the real-world impact of patient-reported data on healthcare policy, service design, and chronic disease management.
