Finland’s capital city of Helsinki plans to create a pan-European health festival for international professionals in digital health, which will take place from 12-15 June 2023 at Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre (Messukeskus).
The Radical Health Festival aims to create one of the largest health markets across digital transformation, data fluidity, health and social care integration, mental health, healthy and active ageing, blended care delivery channels, AI, cybersecurity, climate health, innovation and entrepreneurship and precision health.
Päivi Sillanaukee, ambassador for Health and well-being at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland, said: “The theme for the event, Radical Steps for a Healthy Future, is a strong call to action for everyone eager to respond to our future challenges.”
“The best way to accelerate change, implement innovations and share the best concepts is to bring together people with ideas, know-how, and a powerful mission.”
Several content partners have already confirmed their participation in the Festival, including:
- The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHiME) will offer their Clinical Informatics Leadership Boot Camp to CIOs, CCIOs, physicians and nurses.
- The International Association of National Public Health Institutes (IANPHI), will moderate a masterclass on health security and public health capacity building
- The Organisation for the Review of Care and Health Apps (ORCHA), will provide guidance on evaluating and prescribing digital health solutions.
The Festival´s full list of content contributors will be announced before the end of the year.
The Radical Health Festival has additionally stated that it aims to become a marketplace for investors, buyers, and solution providers, and will propose 4 ways for participants to connect. These will include a pre-conference speed-dating-style platform, a demand-driven Solution Match service, a hosted buyer programme offering benefits to the participating buyers and investors, and an event and networking app.
