Digital Heart Summit 2024

Digital Transformation in Cardiology – Where is Europe Today?

25. – 26.10.2024

i-LAB
Oranienburger Str. 35
10117 Berlin



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:

  • Telecardiology across Europe
  • Previous and current challenges in regulation and reimbursement
  • Trends in telecardiology

Let´s shape together the future of cardiology in Europe.

Digital Heart Summit

Shaping the Cardiological Healthcare of Tomorrow

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.

  • Prof. Dr. Gerhard Hindricks
    eHealth offers excellent opportunities for improved patient care and optimized use of available resources. Let's shape and experience these opportunities brought by digitalization in cardiology together at Digital Heart Summit.
    Prof. Dr. Gerhard Hindricks

    Berlin

  • Prof. Dr. Friedrich Köhler
    Continuous heart failure monitoring is one of the greatest achievements of digitalization. It enables early detection and treatment of complications. Sensor technologies and AI play a key role by providing crucial information for diagnosis and decision-making, allowing more personalized patient care.
    Prof. Dr. Friedrich Köhler

    Berlin

  • Dr. Thomas M. Helms
    The use of telemedicine in cardiology requires not only careful handling of sensitive patient data and compliance with relevant data protection regulations, but also the establishment of clear SOPs and dedicated quality assurance measures.
    Dr. Thomas M. Helms

    Hamburg

  • Prof. Dr. Stefan Sack
    Telemedicine provides opportunities to optimize existing resources in healthcare systems. It is no surprise that initiatives at the legislative level and hospital-driven projects are increasing to integrate telemedicine into everyday care. This enables telemedicine to contribute to better patient care across Europe, despite varying interfaces and regulations in different countries.
