Digital transformation in healthcare is revolutionizing the way medical services are delivered, enhancing both innovation and access to care. The Digital Transformation Hub (DTH) at SDA Bocconi School of Management is dedicated to fostering this evolution by bridging the gap between academia, industry, and policy-making. Our goal is to facilitate the adoption of effective cutting-edge technologies and innovative practices, ensuring that advancements in digital health translate into tangible benefits for all stakeholders.
As Europe navigates the real-world implications of the European AI Act, the DTH is uniquely positioned to spearhead an informed discourse and promote a balanced approach to regulation and innovation. This kick-off event, themed "Action or Inaction?", highlights the crucial role of the DTH in assessing the potential impacts of the Act in action, and fostering collaboration among public institutions, healthcare providers, and technology experts to overcome the initial impasse – or inaction – before such groundbreaking move. By convening leading voices in the field, we aim to generate actionable insights and drive forward-thinking strategies that align with European values and enhance global competitiveness in the digital health landscape.
