With over 400 attendees, the conference put a spotlight on best practices in paving the way for the success of digital health solutions. “Digital medical devices can surely contribute to a better implementation of preventive and personalised medicine,” said Lex Delles, Luxembourg’s Minister of the Economy, SMEs, Energy and Tourism, in his opening speech.

Luxembourg is a small market that is a suitable launch pad for testing things and trying them out.” - Zied Tayeb, PhD, founder and CEO, Myelin-H Read more about the ideas and important talks that are shaping healthcare’s future in Europe.
