Our bodies are the epicenter of the future of health. Digital technologies are coming closer to our bodies, engaging with us in enhanced diagnostics, being worn by us to enable live monitoring of our health and wellness and to assist with our disabilities while augmenting our capabilities. Here, with the intimate nature of the connection, digital technologies affect and are affected by us as individuals.

We are also situated in a broader healthcare context that sets the boundaries of our interaction with digital technologies. Emerging regulation on how these technologies are developed, certified, and adopted, but also how our private data are stored, accessed and used, open opportunities but also raise new challenges in health prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

The individual and the institutional arenas of digital health are changing rapidly. On the one hand, an emerging tech-landscape provides us, as individuals, with a range of new opportunities to access personalized healthcare services. From wearable devices to full body scans and AI-augmented prevention and diagnostic services, individuals demand taking control of their own health and wellness. On the other hand, incumbent healthcare providers are taking steps to open their services and data to third party technology providers through digital platforms. This shift towards opening and extending traditional healthcare services through digital platforms, not only responds to the increasing demand of individuals to monitor their own health and wellness through personalized services, but also to the need to synergistically combine capabilities and resources to scale value propositions. No single organization can address the range of individual patient needs nor can they solely manage the ways in which individuals engage with different modalities of healthcare services. It requires distinct capabilities and resources to provide such services, while at the same time expanding to new modalities of digital care including home and self-care through patient engagement and remote monitoring.

While there are interactions and intersections between the individual and institutional arenas of digital health development, they are not always in synchronization or harmony. Managing the relationship between the individual and institutional arenas of development is however a key question for Sweden and Europe in relation to our digital futures.

We bring industry, startup, education, and policy experts to help us explore and navigate this uncertain, exciting, and concerning space.

Digital technologies, automation, and artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping organizational life in profound ways. Work remains a cornerstone of society, and as it transforms, so too does the way we live, collaborate, and connect with one another. At the center of this transformation lies the evolving relationship between humans and machines, which influences not only workspaces and work processes but also the very meaning of human interaction. This event brings together scholars and practitioners to examine the opportunities and challenges associated with AI. The discussions will address key questions, such as:

• What’s already happening inside organizations - how is AI changing our work?
• Will AI deliver on its promises, or are we chasing illusions?
• What kind of work will remain for humans?
• Are today’s choices leading us toward the future we want?

Computer gaming and esports have distinct roots in the Nordics and in Sweden. They have influenced the way people play and learn and continue to shape the biggest slice of the entertainment industry globally.

The way we learn is connected to how we play: Digital gaming experiences can bring people together and help develop skills. Our session offers the audience a taste of interactive play and a discussion about when and how we learn with and through gaming. Which skills do games enhance? When do we play at work or work when playing?

A panel of experts on gaming, including experienced players, entrepreneurs and academics, will cover broad developments within entertainment, learning, and business.
