Purpose and goal
The project´s goal was to develop the Digital Health Days - an international conference which premiered in 2013. The aim is to create an annual venue that complements existing conferences in eHealth through a clear focus on innovation and implementation of new technology and new processes. This year´s conference gathered 530 participants and 1000+ viewers of the live-stream from sectors relevant for the future of health care such as life science, ICT and creative industries.
Results and expected effects
Digital Health Days created a place for new meetings and discussions of solutions and business models in health and health care. We expect this to accelerate the emergence of an ecosystem where established companies, entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, patients and caregivers can find optimal ways to collaborate. This year´s conference attracted participants from all these groups, and generated a lot of discussions, meetings and networking. Bringing these individuals togehter will increase the chances for new ideas, generating new products and services.
Approach and implementation
Content development is led by an event manager appointed by Stockholm International Fairs and Congress Centre. Stockholm International Fairs and Congress Centre is also responsible for the implementation and promotion of the conference. The project has a program committee with representatives including for example IBM , AbbVie , Sting , Swedish ICT , Flemingsberg Science and a Scientific Committee has been appointed. Program planning was done in workshops and meetings.
