HI Conversations
Welcome to participate in Health Informatics Conversations 鈥 a seminar series arranged by the Health Informatics Centre.
Health Informatics Conversations are inspiring discussions about current topics in health informatics, kicked off by an inspirational speaker who introduces the topic.
The Health Informatics Conversations are recurring the last Thursday every month at 12.00 via Zoom and last for one hour. This hour includes 20 minutes of presentation and leaves the rest of the time for discussions, all in English.
If you are a PhD-student 鈥 this is a credit-bearing activity, as long as the topic is relevant for your research.
The seminar series is organized within the framework of an EU project called . In the project, we support small and medium-sized enterprises (SME's) by offering various services. These services do not cost anything, however, your company needs to sign a certificate to take part in this service. "Health Data Sweden (HDS) is a one-stop shop for increasing digital transformation in health data for SMEs and the public sector, using key technologies".
ONE REGISTRATION FOR ALL SEMINARS

This Spring we offered the following HI Conversations seminars
- 14 March 2024, Rikard L枚vstr枚m: "Health data guide: 7 steps from idea to result when you want to improve the health of individuals with the help of data"
The seven-step model of the health data guide is based on the basic steps that should be included in practical work with health data and is aimed primarily at you who are entrepreneurs or innovators. It gives you an overview of which issues and perspectives you must not miss, points out possible pitfalls and guides you to good discussions with responsible organizations and experts in the field. It is also hoped that researchers and strategists will also be able to benefit from the guide, especially from the in-depth parts, examples and future explorations.

- 25 April 2024, Magnus Boman: 鈥漌hat can AI algorithms do for Precision Medicine?鈥
One definition of precision medicine is 鈥渕ultimodal patient stratification and monitoring鈥. A strong point of AI is multimodal fusion: how to fuse signals from different modalities. Is this how the two should be pieced together or is there more to be said for how learning algorithms play into the future of medicine?

13 June 2024, Erik Sundvall: Please stop buying yesterday鈥檚 鈥渁ll inclusive鈥 Health IT-systems!
(About procurement in healthcare settings.)
Swedish regions have bought 鈥渘ew鈥 monolithic Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems to replace their even older monolithic EHR systems. Experiences indicate that such transition processes are painful. This short talk highlights some of the well-known root causes of integration problems and the common strategies available to handle them. Buying a monolithic EHR is just one of the strategies, and nowadays usually not the best strategy at the complexity level of a big Swedish healthcare region. The Spanish region Catalonia and many others (including in Scandinavia) are instead going for a more open platform approach using vendor-neutral standards like openEHR and FHIR and avoid monolithic EHR systems. Karolinska University Hospital has started using such a platform approach internally and hope to extend the usage to others.
Erik Sundvall鈥檚 main job is at Karolinska University Hospital as Information Architect working mainly with the Health Data Platform, integrations and health informatics. Erik is also an affiliated researcher at HIC, LIME, 探花精选 and Act. Lecturer in Medical Informatics at IMT, Link枚ping University.
