This year again, UEHP was delighted to be partner of HIMSS European conference, held in Paris on 10-12 June 2025.
HIMSS25 Europe is the most advanced healthcare conference in Europe—with tracks covering everything from women’s health, to the future of workforce and using health data right.
The 2025 edition focused on six overarching themes:
- Bridging Policy and Practice
Europe’s leading the world in health policy – and the legislation affects everyone in healthcare. From the European Health Data Space to the EU AI Act and the Cyber Resilience Act, there’s new innovations in digital health policy every month. But how does that regulation translate to practice?
- Intelligent Disruption through Tech
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one part of a huge new wave in health innovation. It’s helping hospital systems auto-detect the onset of diseases and infections, reduce wait times in frontline care, and turn massive datasets into actionable insights. The discussion explored this type of disruption and much more, including new innovations in VR, gaming in pediatric health, and advanced analytics.
- Digital Maturity Roadmaps
You need a real plan to reach digital maturity. The talks focused on the challenges and roadblocks teams face, and how to build a transformation strategy that leads directly to outcomes, as well as explore the HIMSS maturity models, which cover every aspect of digital transformation from analytics to EMR usage, infrastructure, imaging, community care and beyond.
- Women’s Health in Focus
The fight for gender health equity is still ongoing. Women face more barriers getting diagnoses, struggle to get heard in the medical system, and face completely unique health challenges. (It should not take 10+ years to get an endometriosis diagnosis!)
- Using Health Data Right
Data is power, especially in healthcare. The patient records we collect (and how we share them) affect everything from privacy to care quality and patient safety, and the ethics behind data usage are crucial. Could transparency be bad? How can we ensure health AI models are trained on representative, unbiased data? And before we get there: how can we create effective governance and interoperability?
- The Future of Workforce
Healthcare workforce shortages are here, and burnout is an issue no system can ignore. At the same time, healthcare is shifting towards the home, and patient expectations are rising – which makes training and supporting talent with technology even more vital. What strategies for fighting workforce attribution? How European systems can curb the talent tug-of-war? Which ways to keep top talent in healthcare?
