Silvana Quaglini, MS degree in Electronic Engineering and PhD in Bioengineering. She is a full professor of Medical Informatics at the University of Pavia, Italy. Her research focuses on decision support systems, home monitoring and care, and economic evaluation models of healthcare interventions. The main medical areas covered by these applications include cancer, stroke, chronic diseases, and cognitive rehabilitation. The recent push towards personalized medicine has directed her latest studies toward shared decision-making and context-aware home monitoring. She has consistently conducted applied research, mainly within EU-funded projects, collaborating with local and international hospitals. She is a past-president of SIBIM (Italian Society of Biomedical Informatics, EFMI member), member of the GNB (National Bioengineering Group), and the author of approximately 350 scientific publications, with an h-index of 47 (2025, Scopus).

Keynote Abstract:Remote patient monitoring systems have rapidly expanded over the last decade, yet their real-world impact remains limited. Most telemonitoring apps still operate  as isolated tools, lacking seamless integration with clinical workflows  and electronic health records (EHRs). This fragmentation prevents care teams from accessing timely and actionable data. Furthermore, existing systems rarely provide  true personalization: monitoring plans, alert thresholds and decision rules are typically static, failing to adapt to patient profiles, disease trajectories or contextual information.  At the same time, artificial intelligence offers great potential to enhance prediction, triage and patient support, but remains poorly embedded into telemonitoring pipelines due to regulatory, technical and data-quality barriers. Finally, accessibility issues, ranging from digital literacy to usability, language, and device constraints, continue to exclude fragile and older patients, precisely those who would benefit the most. This lecture will discuss these four open challenges through real-world examples and current research initiatives, proposing a roadmap towards integrated, adaptive and equitable telemonitoring ecosystems for home-based care.

Johan Gustav  Bellika has worked in the intersection between medicine, medical research and informatics since 1992, when he joined the Department of Community Medicine at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. He has worked at the Norwegian centre for e-health research at the University Hospital of North Norway since 1997. In the period between 2007 and 2013 he joined the department of computer science to teach and research in relation to the international master program in Telemedicine and e-health. He is now a professor in Medical informatics at the department of clinical medicine, Faculty of health sciences at UiT The Arctic University of Norway and the Norwegian Centre for E-health Research at the University hospital of North Norway. His current research focus is on technology to enable privacy-preserving reuse of health data and supporting a learning healthcare system. 

Keynote Abstract The European health data space (EHDS) will make it easier to reuse data stored in electronic health record systems. But will it make it possible to achieve a EU wide or national learning health system (LHS)? The keynote will summarize many years of efforts on reuse of clinical data aimed at supporting clinicians.

Giorgio Cangioli is a Senior Consultant in Digital Health and Social Care and an internationally recognised expert in healthcare interoperability and standards. He actively contributes to European initiatives supporting the European Health Data Space (EHDS). He is an HL7 Fellow, Technical Lead and Board Member of HL7 Europe, and a member of the HL7 International Technical Steering Committee. He also chairs the European eHMSEG (eHealth Member States Expert Group) Semantic Task Force Architecture Working Group. With more than 25 years of experience, Giorgio specialises in ICT, standards, and business process re-engineering in health and social care. Throughout his career, he has contributed to standardisation activities within HL7, CEN, ISO, IHE, and DICOM, and has facilitated multiple European and global standardisation initiatives. He is one of the authors of the International Patient Summary (IPS) standards (ISO/EN 27269 and HL7 IPS FHIR Implementation Guide).

Keynote Abstract: The European Health Data Space (EHDS) represents a major step towards a unified European health data ecosystem, but its success depends on strong and widely adopted interoperability standards. This keynote will present the standardisation activities currently underway in HL7 Europe and show how they contribute to the implementation of EHDS. The talk will illustrate how HL7 Europe, by engaging different communities across Europe, translates policy goals into technical specifications that can be implemented in real-world systems, enabling cross-border health data exchange and supporting innovation at scale. The session will conclude with an outlook on future priorities and on the importance of collaboration across the European health community and among Standards Development Organisations (SDOs).
