Where does telecardiology stand in Europe, and what insights have we gained from the first successfully implemented projects? This and other practical questions are being addressed at DIGITAL HEART SUMMIT at the end of October 2024. This event focuses on the evolving landscape of cardiology in Europe, particularly in the realm of digital health and telemedicine.
Key topics to be discussed include:
Let´s shape together the future of cardiology in Europe.
The way we communicate and how patients are cared for has changed significantly in recent years. With a new event series – DIGITAL HEART SUMMIT – we aim to highlight digital trends and developments in cardiology and discuss innovative concepts for improving care. In keeping with the current zeitgeist, we will bring together users, decision-makers, and patients from around the world, either virtually or in person, to actively shape the cardiology of the future.
