Smart Health heralds the digital transformation in Global Health and combines technology and medicine to improve the lives of patients. It refers to the use of advanced technologies such as telemedicine, mobile health, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), big data and robotics to improve disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment and health monitoring. The goal is to develop and provide truly personalized and predictive healthcare in terms of diversity and individualized medicine.

Our conference aims to provide insights into the innovative healthcare ecosystem of Germany and Japan with a focus on North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) and the city of Bochum (twin city of Tsukuba) as well as Tokyo and Tsukuba. Bochum offers a Health Campus that is a leading hub for healthcare, digital health and medical technology in Europe with a holistic, human-centered approach. The networking activities within the Health Campus community are managed by the HealthCampus Agency Bochum (www.gc-bo.de), a special task unit. The campus is embedded in the academic landscape of the Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) with its pre-clinical and clinicaltheoretical facilities and university hospitals combining “research-based learning” with the most innovative patient-oriented cutting-edge medicine. Health professionals in science, the care sector as well as industry find a network of experts in NRW and Bochum to collaborate in solving current and future challenges in healthcare using a comprehensive, transdisciplinary approach.
Speakers from industry and research will provide insights into translational research, applied healthcare, health technologies and Global Health challenges.
