Program

The HPI Digital Health Innovation Forum has two distinguishing features: it is international by design and focuses on the intersection of cutting-edge research, digital health policy, and business leadership, understanding that the success of healthcare’s digital transformation depends on interdisciplinary collaboration. The 2025 Forum featured not only a diverse group of international speakers from academia, industry, and policy, but also engaging formats, including keynote addresses, panel discussions, hands-on workshops, research talks, and open networking events.  

Conference panels and keynotes explored topics including:

1. Clinician-friendly AI and AI-friendly Clinicians: How are AI leaders collaborating with clinicians to ensure the highest quality products are developed and adopted in practice?
2. Entrepreneurial Hospitals and Health Systems: What are tomorrow’s most pressing challenges, and how are leading health care organizations driving technology adoption?
3. How to generate value from Health Data: The health care industry generates 30% of the world’s data, yet much of it remains unstructured, inaccessible, and therefore unused. We will hear from the policy, business, and academic thought leaders working to change this.

Keynotes and expert lectures from top international researchers explored topics including:

1. Spending $33 Billion Better: Lessons from the U.S. promotion of Health IT
2. How (not) to govern AI
3. Real World Evidence for Regulatory Science
4. Launching, Managing, and Scaling Exploratory and Breakthrough Innovation at Large Multinational Companies
5. AI in Global Health: the Challenge of Implementation
