SPONSOR & EXHIBIT

Overview

Healthcare 2040: Digital Impact moves beyond the hype to focus on what's actually working — real deployments of digital health, data and AI across hospitals, primary care and aged care, and the governance, interoperability and change management needed to make digital transformation stick.

Who Should Attend

Digital health, IT and data leaders from health services and hospitals
AI and health technology vendors and implementers
Clinical informatics and interoperability specialists

Key Themes in 2027

AI and robotics in practice

What's actually scaling beyond the pilot, from surgical, logistics and ward robotics to AI diagnostics with measurable outcomes. Real deployments, and what happens once AI meets the clinical workflow.

Data, governance and interoperability in action

What it really takes to connect systems, plus an update on the NSW Single Digital Patient Record. Also how to build AI governance that brings clinical and digital oversight together.

Cyber, resilience and patient safety

Explore AI's new attack surface in clinical care, and why cyber security is a patient safety issue and not only a technical one.

Workforce capability

What are we training the digital health workforce for, and will it match what we need? Also what digital literacy actually means for clinicians in 2027.

Virtually enabled care

Telehealth at scale, what hybrid models of virtual and in-person care look like when they work, and how remote triage is being reinvented with hands-off AI.

Connected care and the digital front door

How to design a digital front door for every patient, and what it took to scale digital patient experience to 1.5 million patients. Plus balancing self-service with the human touch.

SPONSOR & EXHIBIT

There's nothing more important than coming out here and having those important conversations and engaging and listening and learning in a forum with such dynamism as we have here today.

Amanda Cattermole

Chief Executive Officer, Australian Digital Health Agency

Clinicians and health staff thrive on being together and talking with each other. They love getting ideas and hearing what other people are doing. You cant't beat an opportunity to get people together to socialise and learn together.

Deborah Willcox AM

Chief Executive Officer, Sydney Local Health District

I really enjoyed the energy and positive atmosphere at Australian Healthcare Week. It was a great opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and industry partners, and to have meaningful conversations about the future of healthcare. I could genuinely feel the enthusiasm from participants across the sector who are committed to continuously improving healthcare through innovation, collaboration, and digital transformation.
