In an era of ecological dysregulation, the traditional biomedical model—focused on individual pathology—is insufficient. This presentation introduces Planetary Salutogenesis, a paradigm shift that scales health promotion from the individual to the biosphere. Currently being actively developed at Charité Berlin, Planetary Salutogenesis posits that durable human health is contingent upon a healthy planet. The framework moves beyond "sick care" to actively cultivate a "Sense of Coherence" by treating the planetary environment as a primary determinant of individual vitality. By integrating traditional medical wisdom with high-tech research, Planetary Salutogenesis addresses systemic health needs through preventative and restorative practices, often drawn from a vast compendium of traditional, complementary and integrative medical practices. This presentation will outline the intellectual framework for Planetary Salutogenesis, bridging health care economics and planetary governance to move medicine toward a proactive, "all-of-planet" view that fosters resilience for humans and non-humans alike.

Today, all corporates leverage startups as part of their innovation processes. Many leverage innovation hubs or accelerator programs to evaluate startups and establish first pilot projects. Despite this structured process, a large percentage of follow-up engagements between corporates and startups do not lead to the desired business impact on both sides. What are the reasons and how can we improve the success rate? What are best practices for value exchange and how can we apply these to new areas like digital health or AI?

Stage host - Women's health session

‍

Endometriosis affects around one in ten women, yet diagnosis often takes many years, leading to pain, infertility, repeated consultations and delayed treatment. A key barrier is that high-quality transvaginal ultrasound relies on a small number of highly trained experts, which creates variability between centers, regions and individual operators.

‍

We’ve spent decades coding smarter technologies to monitor the human body - yet we’ve overlooked the operating system that runs it all: our emotions. Emotional fitness is the missing code in modern health - the capacity to regulate, process, and realign our inner states before they crash our system. In this talk, I explore how emotional intelligence and regulating skills can become the next frontier of preventive medicine - and how emotion-aware technologies and cultures could help us build humans who are not only healthier, but truly thriving.

We stand at the dawn of a new biology - one that opens the black box of early human development and turns its secrets into scalable assets, redefining success in reproductive medicine and beyond.
dawn-bio's human stem-cell based platform technology illuminates a stage of life we’ve never been able to study before, offering a new foundation for breakthroughs in women’s health and preventive prenatal medicine. Its first application is an IVF solution designed to increase take home baby rate in IVF, because 20% and no improvement in 20 years is not good enough. And that is just the beginning, the platforms true potential reaches far further.
In this session, Dr. Peter Greiner shares how this new biology changes the future of human reproduction and enables bright beginnings for future generations.

Beyond the Prescription: How Digital Tools Can (and Can’t) Support Pharmacists OR The Right Digital Prescription: What Actually Helps Pharmacists — and What Doesn’t

‍

This 90-minute workshop teaches participants how to develop and market a digital therapeutic (DTx) from concept to completion. Designed for decision-makers in Digital Health, Medtech, Pharma, and startups, it covers DTx definitions, regulatory frameworks, and reimbursement pathways in Germany, including the DiGA process.

Participants will work in small groups on fictional or real DTx ideas, guided by experts through essential steps such as purpose definition, regulatory strategy, reimbursement planning, data security, and clinical evidence collection. They’ll also learn to design studies demonstrating positive healthcare effects.

The session concludes with group presentations and an open discussion on challenges encountered. Participants will leave with practical tools and resources for their projects.

Preparing Nurses for Accelerating Technologies: Building Digital Literacy for the Future of Care

‍

Digital health is no longer peripheral to healthcare – it’s how care gets delivered. From patient flow to decision support, the systems we build and use have become the mechanism of modern care itself. But while the pace of digital innovation in healthcare has never been faster, keeping those innovations safe, sustainable, and truly useful remains one of our biggest challenges.

Yet stories that can convict us to push further” ~ Joseph Isosaki

The overall HealthTech market is one of the fastest-growing sectors globally, driven by technological advancements (especially AI and digital solutions), the burden of chronic diseases, and a shift toward patient-centric and value-based care.

Remote Care in Action: Lessons from the Nordics and Canada

‍

Healthcare is evolving at a pace that often exceeds the capacity of the people delivering it. New technologies, shifting priorities, and constant pressures on services create an overload that slows adoption and drains momentum.

‍

Personal and Preventative Care

‍

Traditionally, assessing a patient’s health has relied on "snapshots"—infrequent, subjective clinic visits that don't always capture the full picture of a disease. Digital biomarkers change the game. By using sensors in smartphones and wearables, we can now capture objective, continuous data from a patient’s daily life—measuring things like walking patterns in Parkinson’s or sleep quality in depression with unprecedented precision.

For a century, cardiovascular care has relied on invasive tests and late-stage interventions. But what if the next century could be defined by something as simple as the human voice? Subtle changes in speech can reveal early signs of heart disease weeks before hospitalization, offering a window for timely intervention.

‍

Oral dryness, or xerostomia, affects a growing share of the population—patients undergoing oncology treatments, those with autoimmune disorders, diabetes, or chronic medication use. Despite its prevalence and significant impact on quality of life, it remains an underestimated public health issue. Xerostomia not only causes local discomfort but can also impair oral flora balance, increase infection risk, and serve as an early indicator of systemic disease.

Healthcare innovation faces steep barriers: regulation, funding, and resistance. H4 observes innovators, clinicians, and patients struggling to implement new solutions. Our analysis advocates genuine alliances between innovators, clinicians, and empowered patients to understand needs. Caregivers also require early innovation training. H4 aims to transform complex innovation into accessible steps, fostering smoother adoption and greater impact through collaboration.

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite major advances in medicine and diagnostics, current approaches often detect disease too late and lack predictive precision. Exploris Health is addressing this challenge with Cardio Explorer, a novel Software as Medical Device that integrates advanced biosignal analytics and artificial intelligence to enable earlier detection, improved risk assessment, and more personalized cardiac care.

Many patients unknowingly use medications compromised by heat, transport, and storage degradation—a huge healthcare blind spot leading to waste and treatment failures. Beyond Diagnostics addresses this with real-time, point-of-care tests to verify medication efficacy for patients, clinicians, and caregivers. We provide proof of potency, offering actionable data instead of blind trust. Our initial focus is insulin, critical for over 100 million people. Our universal LUMIQ platform will expand to safeguard other fragile medicines like oncology biologics as they are increasingly used outside clinical settings, introducing a new layer of trust and resilience in global healthcare.

Breast cancer survival rates are drastically lower in LMICs due to late detection; costly, unsuitable screening methods prevail. N23 Health offers an AI solution for early, accessible breast tumor detection. It empowers community healthcare workers to rapidly assess lumps, giving feedback and referring suspicious cases, while others avoid unnecessary costs. A Kenya pilot aims to scale this solution across LMICs, providing a scalable, sustainable pathway to equitable cancer care by lowering costs and reducing specialist reliance.
