JOINT CONFERENCE

Equitable, integrative, and value-driven digital health transformation

  • Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain
  • 27-28 November 2024

Co-organised by

EU-funded Project

Digital transformation of health systems is not just an opportunity but a critical success factor to address challenges such as sustainability, better value care and the improvement of health outcomes. This crucial shift at a systemic level is urgent, but still progressing far too slowly.

Please join us in Bilbao on 27th and 28th of November, for a two-day conference to discover how to harness the value of innovative digital technologies.

We are collaborating with the EC-funded ADLIFE project that will feature as running example through the conference sessions.
