Session 23

Unlocking Europe’s leadership in healthcare

Can patient empowerment be the catalyst?

Organised by the European Patients' Forum and The Digital Health Society, supported by Takeda

Europe’s healthcare landscape is undergoing a pivotal transformation. With the implementation of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and the Health Technology Assessment Regulation (HTAR), a new era has emerged - one rooted in leveraging data and innovation to build efficient, evidence-based, and patient-centered health systems. At the heart of this transformation lies a critical, yet often understated enabler, the digital collection and standardised measurement of patient outcomes in routine care.

This session will explore the unique power of digitally captured patient outcomes to elevate Europe as a global leader in life sciences. Empowered patients, equipped to monitor and report their health outcomes digitally, can fundamentally reshape communication between patients and clinicians ensuring that healthcare delivery aligns with real needs. Yet, the true power of these outcomes is amplified when they are digitally captured, standardised, and aggregated into Real-World Evidence (RWE) libraries that unlock unparalleled value for scientific research.
