13:10 – 13:35 Keynote – The Patients Voice in Healthcare – How Health Outcomes Observatories strengthen Patient Empowerment and Care in Europe 

Tanja Stamm (AT), Professor for Outcomes Research at Medical University of Vienna and Health Outcomes Observatory (H2O) Lead
Launched in 2020, the Health Outcomes Observatory (H2O) project will, for the first time across Europe, bring together outcomes reported by patients (PROs) with the corresponding clinical outcomes collected on a large scale in (initially) four countries and four disease areas. H2O aims to establish a culture of continuous measurement of outcomes across the health care ecosystem, incorporating these measures into the process of routine care and allowing for the ongoing assessment of medicines and other technologies through their lifecycle.

13:35 – 13:55 Keynote II – Digitize Patient Interactions with a Platform-As-A-Service Approach and Data-Driven Insights 

Tamás Petrovics (AT), CEO of XUND.ai
The need for digital, data-driven healthcare has never been more evident. Problems with data management and sharing as well as the lack of reliable long-term data slow down medical treatments. How can digital solutions make the patient journey more effective from start to finish, saving resources while providing patients with reliable decision support?

13:55 – 14:15 Digital Health Students Pitches – Part I (5 min each)

• Signs of Life
  Team: Zvetelina Kren, Christine Naschenweng, Lisa Pitzl, Christoph Plank, Michael Plank, Lucas Wohlmuth, St Pölten UAS
  An application for people with severe hearing impairments (SHI) to learn, repeat and deepen their knowledge about basic life support in an adapted way catered to their needs and additionally to get the possibility to review the content in a playful way. To support the learning experience videos with subtitles and sign language interpreters as well as text information will be implemented.
• Voice Assisted Patients
  Team: Julia Böck, Tobias Eder, Theresa Hillebrand, Patrick Kramml, Marco Sonnberger, St Pölten UAS
  VAP is an app that records health data such as allergies, previous illnesses, and medication, which can be entered via a voice assistant or web interface. The app can remind users to follow their health care routines and allows health care professionals to quickly access a user’s health record via their personal QR-code, saving time in emergency situations and supporting health care professionals.
• iStopFalls
  Team: Magdalena Druml, Flora Hamar, Ines Seidl, Alexander Dellert, Maximilian Puhr, St Pölten UAS
  The project addresses the significant issue of falls in healthcare settings, specifically for older adults and individuals with cognitive impairment, using a bed exit sensor and a smart speaker. The goal is to investigate the potential use of speech assistants as a tool for fall prevention and determine if they can be used as a distraction to give caregivers more time.

14:15 – 14:45 30-min Coffee & Networking Break

14:45 – 15:05 Accelerating radiology imaging workflows with relevant clinical context on AWS
Christoph Russ (CH), Technical Program Manager – Healthcare, Amazon Web Services EMEA Sarl
AWS empowers radiologists, health systems, and research teams increase the pace of innovation, unlock the potential of imaging data, develop more personalized approaches to care delivery, and improve cost and operational efficiency. Moving medical imaging data to the cloud allows clinicians to employ machine learning (ML) to support anomaly detection that speeds diagnosis and improves patient outcomes.

15:05 – 15:20 How AI can support healthcare providers to do better resource planning
Andreas Diensthuber (AT), CEO DAPHOS.ai
The presentation will deal with the questions:

1. How AI can support healthcare providers ensuring that the right number of people, with the right skills, are at the right place at the right time to deliver the right services to the patients
2. Why this matters

15:20 – 15:40 Digital Health Students Pitches – Part II (5 min each)

• Med Buddy
  Team: Silvia Angjeliu, Nadine Heckenast, Joanna Malec, Markus Ochsenhofer, Julie Regondique, St Pölten UAS
  Med-Buddy is a software installed on a tablet that offers translations of common phrases used in radiology settings to improve communication between patients and healthcare workers who don’t speak the same language. The software includes features such as audios, pictures, and tutorial videos provided by a virtual human to improve patient cooperation and adherence to examination protocols, increase safety and satisfaction, and complement the information process.
