Social Listening Digital Insights as Real World Evidence and AI powered Patient Journeys

by Roberto Strino - AI Translator and Digital Health Innovation Manager - AstraZeneca



Keynote

Healthcare is entering a new era where patient-generated digital signals., from social media, online communities, search behavior, and digital engagement platforms, can complement traditional Real-World Evidence (RWE) to provide a more holistic understanding of patient needs and behaviors. Combined with Artificial Intelligence, these insights enable the design of more personalized, predictive, and outcome-oriented patient journeys.

This session explores how pharma organizations can leverage social listening and AI-driven analytics to improve patient engagement, identify unmet needs earlier, and support more patient-centric healthcare strategies while maintaining ethical and compliant data governance.

Clinical Decision Support in the AI Era: Better Outcomes, Smarter Hospitals

by Jesus Buso-Cortes - Digital Health Solutions, Head of Marketing, Europe, Middle East and Africa - Abbott



Keynote

Clinical decision support (CDS) systems are rapidly evolving from rule-based alerts to AI-driven platforms that deliver actionable insights at the point of care, transforming both patient outcomes and hospital economics. By reducing diagnostic errors, standardizing care pathways, and optimizing resource utilization, CDS enables hospitals to improve quality while containing costs—critical priorities for today’s healthcare executives facing rising demand and constrained budgets. The integration of artificial intelligence amplifies this impact, enabling predictive, personalized, and continuously learning decision support that aligns clinical excellence with financial sustainability. For leaders, investing in modern CDS is no longer a technology choice but a strategic imperative to drive value-based care and operational resilience.

AI Coaching for Longevity: A First-Person Case Study

by Rubén Pareja Bailón - AI Coaching for Longevity: A First-Person Case Study - Getinge



Keynote

In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital health, patient empowerment is moving from passive adherence to active, data-driven self-optimization. This presentation delivers a first-person case study on how an individual can bridge the gap between static genetic data and dynamic daily habits to engineer a sustainable longevity strategy.

The session explores a practical implementation framework: leveraging comprehensive whole-genome sequencing as a baseline biological map, and utilizing an advanced Generative AI assistant trained on curated scientific literature to act as a highly personalized health coach. To translate insights into action, a wearable infrastructure was deployed to log physical activity, track behavioral metrics, and feed real-world data back into the optimization loop.

By moving away from general wellness advice and focusing on precise, AI-guided behavioral modification (spanning exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle habits), this case study provides key industry insights into the future of hyper-personalized preventative care, patient-led technology ecosystems, and the real-world metrics that drive long-term health adherence.
