Welcome to the Digital Health Conference!
Dear colleagues,
We want to greet you all and wholeheartedly welcome to our first international conference about digital health. In these challenging times, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we more than ever witness the importance of digital technologies in healthcare. Furthermore, as the development of new technologies (AI or Big data) is perceived as a promising factor in improving and leading to more personalized healthcare, we risk neglecting the underlying issues. Therefore, the main idea of this conference would be to critically reflect on the fast-developing phenomenon of digital health by taking into consideration the ethical, legal and social perspective.
We consider the conference topic very much needed, and we invite you to join and participate actively. We are sure with your contribution and participation the proposed thematic areas will be expanded.
We warmly welcome you in Zagreb on 9th and 10th of December 2020.
On behalf of the scientific and organizing team, we look forward to meet you soon!
Anto Čartolovni, PhD.
President of the Organizing Committee
