The accelerating shift toward digital technologies is reshaping healthcare systems worldwide, yet fundamental questions remain about how these innovations can truly transform care delivery, financing, and patient experience. In this talk, based on Katarzyna Kolasa’s book The Digital Transformation of the Healthcare System: Healthcare 5.0, we explore a bold vision for a new healthcare paradigm […]

The intelligent hospital is not the one that automates — it’s the one that learns. Hospitals are increasingly data-rich but insight-poor. Every day, thousands of clinical, administrative, and technical interactions are recorded across Hospital Information Systems (HIS) — from electronic health records and lab results to staff logins, scheduling, and billing. Yet despite this continuous […]

BioValley-BiONwoven – Revolutionary Next-Generation Bio-textiles – A Circular Innovation combats SEPSIS Drug-resistant hospital infections leading to SEPSIS are a global health challenge, with mortality rates reaching 30% shortly after infection and 20% within a year. The main (60%) sources of infection are contaminated textiles and the patient’s immediate surroundings. In response, we have developed a biocidal material […]

PalsyVue addresses a critical gap in neonatal healthcare — the lack of effective, scalable tools for early detection of Cerebral Palsy (CP), one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, affecting approximately 1 in 450 births. Today, CP is typically diagnosed only 12–24 months after birth, when symptoms become visible and when therapeutic interventions are far […]

Background & Opportunity The prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to rise across Europe, driven by demographic ageing, lifestyle risk factors, and constrained healthcare resources. Real-world access to advanced diagnostics such as ambulatory ECG monitoring and AI-powered rhythm analysis remains limited — particularly in outpatient settings, smaller clinics and underserved regions. Our Aim & Strategy […]

Dementia is an important challenge in an ageing society. Early detection is fundamental for timely intervention and improving the quality of life. The current diagnostic process of dementia is subjective and time-consuming, leading to delayed or missed diagnosis. We introduce a solution that, in an objective, fast and automatic way, can optimise the time-to-first assessment […]

Medication use is one of the most frequent interactions patients have with their treatment plans, yet it remains largely invisible to clinicians and care systems. Whether a therapy is taken, how consistently, and under what real-world conditions often goes unmeasured, leading to gaps in adherence, misunderstanding of treatment effectiveness, and delayed responses to worsening symptoms. […]

There is a growing need to support recovery from neurological and psychological conditions in both civilian healthcare and the military. Stroke, depression, PTSD and traumatic brain injury (TBI) affect millions of people, including soldiers exposed to high operational stress. Traditional rehabilitation is slow, resource-intensive and often insufficient. QVITI develops and deploys non-invasive neuromodulation (tES) and […]

Adolescent mental health is in crisis across Europe. In Poland alone, over 40% of teenagers have experienced suicidal thoughts, yet only 12% of those in need receive adequate psychiatric care. The system is overwhelmed: with fewer than 600 child psychiatrists nationwide, waiting times stretch for months, and the process of diagnosis is slow, fragmented, and […]

A lack of personalization in therapy leads to patients quickly becoming discouraged. Regardless of the time spent in the office, independent work is crucial, for which internal motivation is necessary. For patients to effectively rebuild their communication competencies in speech therapy, a great deal of attention to their needs and personalization is required. However, the […]
