Reflections from the Organizing Committee

Date: 19 February 2025

Location: Edifici de Recerca – UOC, Rambla del Poblenou, 154, Barcelona

As a member of the organizing committee, I had the incredible opportunity to help shape and participate in the mHealth BCN Conference 2025, organized by Fundación iSYS ,  with the colaboration of eHealth Center of Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), the Sociedad Catalana de Medicina Familiar y Comunitaria (CAMFiC) and the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, within the framework of BCN Health Innovation Week, led by Biocat and the BioRegion of Catalonia.

This year’s conference was a remarkable gathering of experts, innovators, and healthcare professionals, all committed to exploring the present and future of digital health. The discussions throughout the day highlighted key challenges and opportunities, focusing on:

• The role of digital health in enhancing well-being and quality of life.
• The importance of active aging and digital tools that support it.
• Bridging the digital literacy gap for both users and professionals, preparing for the present—not just the future.
• Developing user-centered applications, ensuring usability, utility, and long-term adherence.
• AI’s impact on digital health, its benefits, risks, and potential inequalities.
• The ethical and responsible use of health data, ensuring accessibility and fairness.

Reflections on the Future of Digital Health

Being part of the conference organization allowed me to see first-hand the complexity of digital health transformation. It is clear that for mHealth to be truly inclusive and effective, we need a multidisciplinary approach, one that embraces technological ethics, unbiased AI, and user-centric innovation.

Our mission goes beyond cost optimization; it is about empowering users and healthcare professionals, making digital health a tool for improving lives rather than a technological barrier.

While digital health has come a long way, we are still at the beginning of this journey. There is much work to be done, countless opportunities ahead, and an exciting evolution yet to unfold.

Grateful to have been part of this inspiring event and looking forward to the road ahead!
