About Morning Health Talks Series
Morning Health Talks is a highly positioned event series in 13 EIT RIS countries, part of the EIT Health RIS Programme. The mission is to develop local healthcare innovation ecosystems through productive stakeholder discussions. Such a dialogue should strengthen relationships and encourage collaborations and definite activities toward more mature ecosystems.
In talks focused on the Innovative Hospital, we try to harness the complexity of the future healthcare system. This future presents its own challenges, many of which are extensions of current concerns but amplified by emerging trends and advancements. E.g. technological disruption improves quality or accessibility but also impacts data privacy and security or creates ethical dilemmas.
Our ultimate objective is to build consensus around the immediate and long-term needs and develop a joint action plan, which would help coordinate and integrate efforts aimed at developing a modern healthcare system at the regional level. Similar efforts are present in many countries and regions; thus, the dialogue, exchange of perspectives, and practices would eventually trigger international collaboration around the topic.

Summary of the previous events
From previous talks, we know that:
- The COVID-19 pandemic permanently changed global health care, from accelerating the adoption of new technology and care delivery models to increasing the focus on sustainability and resiliency.
- The future of health care needs to be organized around the NEEDS of the consumer rather than for the convenience of care providers.
- Hospitals can extend their function from being a service provider to an innovative community builder.
In the following two talks (9th of May and 17th of October 2024), we will further explore the issue of innovativeness in healthcare services. Especially interesting is the perspective of Open Innovation merged with the promise of rapid advancements in medical technology, including AI, robotics, telemedicine, and precision medicine – to list a few that may disrupt traditional healthcare delivery models. While it requires significant investments in infrastructure, training, and regulation, it heavily depends on data access.
What will you learn?
The discussion will involve answers to the following questions:
- What barriers hinder the participative development of healthcare technologies in hospitals?
- What needs to change to support open innovation in healthcare?
- Why do we need patients to be engaged and empowered, and what does it mean in practice?
Morning Health Talks aim to raise awareness of health issues that are important globally but need to be addressed with local stakeholders. This focus and subsequent actions establish and strengthen relationships between local, regional and national innovation stakeholders. We invite high and middle-level managers who impact the innovation ecosystem to participate in the meeting.
