Redefining Healthcare Delivery in the Digital Era
It has been three years since the last edition of Healthcare of the future. Rising healthcare costs and insurance premiums are forcing even wealthy countries such as Switzerland to reconsider how medical care is provided. New approaches aiming to reduce the number of inpatient stays are being tested. They include monitoring and nursing care equivalent to a hospital in a domestic setting, and consequently shape the design of digital communication and telemedicine.
While the 2022 conference dealt with digital processes in the aftermath of COVID-19, the 2025 event focuses on the requirements and developments needed to further align inpatient and outpatient care.
Healthcare of the future is driven by cutting-edge technology and patient-centered care. Wearable devices, telemedicine, and AI-powered tools enable early detection, personalized treatment, and growing independence. IoT devices and portable diagnostic tools improve care coordination, while digital tools facilitate access to mental health support. Cost-effective solutions meet the needs of ageing populations, though challenges, such as data privacy and regulation remain to be solved.
We invite you to join us on this journey in Biel/Bienne next May. Don’t miss the opportunity to actively participate in this unique conference and apply for the coveted Brönnimann’s Award.
