Digital health is the convergence of digital technologies with health, healthcare, living, and society to enhance the efficiency of healthcare delivery and make medicines more personalized and precise. The discipline involves the use of information and communication technologies to help address the health problems and challenges faced by people under treatment. These technologies include both hardware and software solutions and services, including telemedicine, web-based analysis, email, mobile phones and applications, text messages, wearable devices, and clinic or remote monitoring sensors. Generally, digital health is concerned about the development of interconnected health systems to improve the use of computational technologies, smart devices, computational analysis techniques, and communication media to aid healthcare professionals and their clients manage illnesses and health risks, as well as promote health and wellbeing.

Digital health is a multi-disciplinary domain involving many stakeholders, including clinicians, researchers and scientists with a wide range of expertise in healthcare, engineering, social sciences, public health, health economics and data management.

Accelerating Healthcare Insights: Rapidly unlocking value from your data - Rami Riman (InterSystems)

Government healthcare solutions. Digital developments in public health - Legislation and financing environment supporting digitization in health care - Where are we now and what will the future bring? Digital skills development in healthcare - What digital skills should present and future healthcare workers have? Control and qualification processes for digital solutions. How can it be ensured that only high-quality, safe digital solutions can be integrated into the domestic publicly funded healthcare system? - panel discussion - dr. Zoltán Ónodi-Szűcs (Deputy Chancellor of Health, University of Debrecen), Karolina Molnár (Ministry of the Interior), (OKFŐ), Moderator:


Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML): AI and machine learning (ML) developments are increasingly affecting healthcare, including imaging, disease diagnosis, and drug development. AI systems can process large amounts of data and identify patterns that help doctors make more accurate diagnoses and more personalized treatment. Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Healthcare: AI has been transforming the healthcare industry by assisting in diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and patient monitoring. AI-powered algorithms can analyze vast amounts of healthcare data to detect patterns, predict outcomes, and personalize patient care. - panel discussion in English - dr. Judit Bidló (Ministry of the Interior), Szabolcs Szolnoki (Ministry of Economic Development), Rami Riman, MD (Intersystems) Moderator: (the language of the discussion is English)

Improving Operational Efficiency: FUTURE-READY HOSPITALS - Special insight into cost-effective technology solutions that improve patient-centered care. Digital solutions such as electronic medical records (EHR), automated appointment coordination, and virtual waiting lists can help healthcare facilities and professionals increase the efficiency of their administration. This reduces the administrative burden and increases the time that can be spent on care. The PATIENT-CENTRIC approach: How to satisfy patients' expectations with seamless coordination, personalization and cooperation. - panel discussion - Prof. Dr. Andréka Péter, PhD, MD (National Cardiovascular Institute György Gottsegen), Dr. Krisztina Bogos, PhD, MD (National Institute of Early Pulmonology), Moderator:

Live-Saving telemedicine - Why dont we use it? View of the practicing cardiologist. - Prof. Gábor Z. Duray MD, PhD, DSc, MSc, FESC (Central Hospital of Northern Pest - Military Hospital)

Digital Health goals and measurability of results - Prof. László Gulácsi MD, MSc. Ph.D. Habil. DSc. (Óbuda University of Budapest)

  1. Wearable Technology: There has been a significant rise in the use of wearable devices, such as smartwatches and fitness trackers. These devices collect health data and provide users with insights about their physical activities, heart rate, sleep patterns, and more. This data can help individuals monitor and improve their overall health and well-being.

  2. Remote Patient Monitoring: With advancements in technology, remote patient monitoring has become a key trend in digital health. This involves using devices to collect patient data, such as vital signs, symptoms, and medication adherence, from the comfort of their own homes. Healthcare providers can monitor patients remotely and intervene when necessary, reducing hospital visits and improving patient outcomes.

  3. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): VR and AR technologies are being increasingly utilized in digital health to enhance medical training, patient education, and pain management. VR can simulate realistic medical scenarios for training purposes, while AR can overlay digital information onto a real-world environment to improve surgical precision or guide medical procedures.

  4. Health Apps and Gpt-3.5: There has been a surge in the development and usage of health apps that provide services such as fitness tracking, symptom assessment, mental health support, and medication reminders. AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants, like Gpt-3.5, are being integrated into these apps to provide personalized health recommendations, answer user queries, and offer support.
