Minds ON #Health: Discover the future of healthcare on November 21st!

An exciting event will take place in Wuppertal on November 21, 2025 that aims to take healthcare to the next level. Under the title “Minds ON #Health”, players from companies, start-ups, research and practices come together to discuss the latest developments in the health sector. According to wuppertal.de, the event starts at 11:00 a.m. and runs until 1:00 p.m., with entry possible from 10:30 a.m. The venue is the Evangelische Pflege Diakonie Vohwinkel gGmbH.

The program is varied and aims to highlight topics related to technology, innovation and the future of work in healthcare. Eva Platz, the board member of Wuppertal Economic Development, welcomes the participants, followed by presentations by important players. Stephan Graue, Managing Director of Evangelische Pflege Diakonie Vohwinkel gGmbH, will talk about the key to technology and innovation in patient care. The role of artificial intelligence in the job is also in focus: Jan-Peter Lambeck from Armedo GmbH will address the question of how AI can support prevention in healthcare.

Artificial intelligence in healthcare

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword, but has developed into a real driving force in the healthcare sector. According to health.ec.europa.eu, AI can improve the efficiency and accessibility of healthcare and has the potential to make better use of financial resources. It optimizes patient referrals and reduces administrative costs through automation, resulting in time and cost savings. Another advantage of AI is the increase in the accuracy of diagnostics, which enables earlier detection of diseases.

A few clear examples show how AI has already revolutionized the healthcare sector: AI systems are used in intensive care units for early detection of sepsis, while breast cancer detection is improved through AI-supported mammography screening. These applications are a clear indication that the European Union is promoting the use of these technologies through reforms in pharmaceutical legislation.

Health trends and challenges

Of course, integrating AI also brings challenges. In order to give these new technologies the space they deserve, trust and acceptance must be built among the population. Access to high-quality health data and sustainable financing are also necessary. As Fraunhofer ISI reports, the upcoming European AI regulation, which comes into force in August 2024, could help promote the development of responsible AI in healthcare.

The “Minds ON #Health” event offers an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and network about these topics. In addition to the lectures, there is enough space to make your own contacts and establish partnerships. Ideal for established companies, innovative start-ups and scientific institutions.

Overall, it is clear that the course is being set for future-oriented healthcare - and the exchange on these topics is more important than ever. So if you work in healthcare or are interested in it, be sure to stop by and bring your ideas and suggestions!
