Clinical research is the basis of modern healthcare. Every drug you've ever taken, every device you've ever been examined with, every new process and every new treatment method that reaches a patient is all the result of clinical research and development. Adopting this global view of health research requires the promotion and support of scientific and innovation capacities, the innovative use of health institutions to share and build new knowledge,
leadership and stabilization of managerial capacities. It is high time that we resuscitate the Slovak healthcare system in this area as well.

HealthHub will present services that will contribute to the digitization of the Slovak healthcare system. What should a proper digital transformation plan look like? How can we use artificial intelligence in healthcare today? And what should a properly secured health care provider look like from the point of view of cyber security?

Digital innovation is a key tool in modernizing healthcare. But is our healthcare system even ready for that? And how specifically can digital innovation help? How can we accelerate the digitization of the Slovak healthcare system and support the deployment of digital innovations? How will the new resources from the Eurofunds and the Recovery Plan contribute to the effective deployment of digital innovations that will help both doctors and patients?
Chairman: Samuel Arbe

The discussion will focus on the following topics:

•     What will the European Digital Innovation Hub for Health offer and how to get involved?
•     How to raise funds for the digitalisation of healthcare providers?
•     What exactly is digital transformation and what will it bring?
•     Why do central government need to digitize?
•     What do hospitals need in digitization and what do smaller dispensaries need?
•     How can advanced technologies be used in the Slovak healthcare system, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, or high-performance computing?
•     How to use research capacities in Slovakia and how can Health and Care innovations be helped to start earning?

Webinar participants will be given the opportunity to participate in the project. In addition, the interactive discussion will also serve as a basis for a better understanding of the needs of the health sector.


 

The society in which we live is changing very dynamically, which is inevitably reflected in the change of the healthcare ecosystem. The technological development of recent years, together with the increase in the incidence of chronic diseases and the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19, is increasingly accelerating research and development in medicine and related fields. Personalized medicine, new possibilities for early and rapid diagnosis, new treatments - several thousands of scientific publications are published in these areas every year. However, medicine is very adaptable, it not only creates innovations, but can also receive them very effectively. At present, it is almost impossible to separate it from the development of digitization, automation, robotics, etc. IoT, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, intelligent devices, bionics, sensors, 3D printing and bioprinting, the use of new materials, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, etc. are becoming a common part of it. It addresses the variable societal challenges associated with different periods of human life, while also respecting the traditional values and ethical aspects of these challenges. Will innovation in healthcare result in healthier living, or will new diseases and risks appear? And are we ready for it?

What will the new university hospital in Martin be like? Work on the new hospital in Martin continues intensively. The project accepts global as well as regional requirements for excellent healthcare based on innovations in biomedicine and information technology. The entire hospital is designed according to processes that are specifically configured for the patient and his journey through the system. It meets all the original requirements - smart, green, teaching, research, personalization of the approach and planned health care based on quality and value orientation.
The construction of a new state hospital that will educate future doctors and other health professionals and at the same time support innovations and processes leading to the improvement of the knowledge economy may be the first signal to improve the current state of health care in Slovakia in years.
