After ten years producing knowledge in the field of digital health, we are adapting to a changing digital world
Dr Thierry Vermeeren
Since 2010, the « Digital Patient Community » has been offering a series of international symposia devoted to the business, technological and organisational challenges of innovation in the healthcare sector. It was born of a public-private partnership of players active in the world of healthcare and is steered by a Scientific Committee under the chairmanship of Prof. Philippe Kolh, CIO of the CHU of Liège.
In 2019, we already dealt with artificial intelligence in healthcare, and came away with the conviction that it was better to talk about augmented intelligence than to label technology with the adjective ‘intelligent’, which it does not have.
The 2024 edition returns to the theme of AI in healthcare to look beyond the dream, as we reach what Gartner describes as the « peak of oversized expectations ». In the space of just a few months, Chat GPT has eclipsed all its technological challengers and invented for itself a global impact that is sometimes exciting, sometimes dramatic, sending millions of gullible people in its wake into what Fix calls « the swamp of expert speakers ».
The role of the Patient community is not to be part of the fad, and even less to participate in the buzz effect… A number of experts take care of that for us. Our role is to take an objective, critical look at digital technology and the way it is influencing the healthcare sector in terms of both its technological and human skills.
At this 14th edition, the emphasis will be on interaction between renowned speakers and the 500 participants from the world of European healthcare. That’s why, alongside the plenary lectures, we’ll be holding a number of round tables and workshops. Conferences in English and French will provide an opportunity to hear renowned speakers, while leaving plenty of room for feedback and discussion.
The day will be punctuated by networking opportunities with our industrial partners, and will close with the awards ceremony and a cocktail reception.
The « Ethical/Legal » workshop will address the essential bioethical and legal issues in the field of digital health. We will address the issue of the human guarantee of AI and the implementation of human guarantee colleagues.
We will analyse the impact of the AI Act passed at European level and the legal aspects of algorithmic medicine.
The « Clinical » workshop will give pride of place to feedback from hospitals and laboratories that have already passed the stage of clinical implementation and can already share initial operational findings.
They will be presenting practices and analysing initial feedback.
The ‘Digital Twin’ workshop will enable us to explore a little-known topic, that of our digital clone. Based on theoretical and practical presentations, we will look at the technological aspects, those linked to data and existing and future clinical applications.
The « technology » workshop will create the link between this new e-health ecosystem and the constraints of the SIHM, some elements of which it is intended to integrate and others to interact with. Far from being insignificant, it represents a stumbling block on which many innovations have crumbled.

Talking about innovation without discovering emerging practices, tools in gestation or even achievements on the way to industrialisation would seem somewhat lame. That’s why the Scientific Committee of the Digital Patient has decided this year to reward an innovative project by awarding its « Innovation award Patient Numérique 2024« .
The aim of the « Innovation award Patient Numérique 2024″ is to reward the best technological or user innovation project in the healthcare sector, carried out within healthcare institutions and providers or insurance organisations.
A single prize will be awarded and presented to the winners at the « Patient Numérique Seminar 2024 » to be held on 17 October 2024. This prize comes with a detailed analysis of the solution by 150SoH experts, worth €3,000.
Entries may be submitted until 30 September 2024. The entry form and rules will be sent to you on request by e-mail to info@patientnumerique.com.
Applications must be submitted by the same electronic means and an acknowledgement of receipt validating your application will be sent to you.
