The challenges of tomorrow
Healthcare faces numerous challenges: an aging population, an increasing demand for care, rising costs, staff shortages, and the impact of climate change. At the same time, technological innovations such as AI, 3D printing, smart sensors, mixed reality, remote care, and more are opening up new possibilities to make healthcare more efficient, sustainable, and accessible. But how can these technologies be integrated into practice, how do we build support for them in our policies, and how do we prepare healthcare professionals for this transformation? With Vesalius Next, we aim to provide a platform that addresses these issues.
What can you expect?
- Inspiration: Learn more about the latest developments in AI, sustainability, and medical technologies through interactive installations, demos, and showcases.
- Co-creation: Connect with other professionals and innovators in healthcare and collaborate in workshops and events (matchmaking, hackathons, etc.) to develop and design solutions for real-world problems.
- Experience: Step into the future of healthcare through immersive and realistic scenarios, interactive demos, and innovative technologies that make tomorrow’s possibilities tangible.
Everything takes place at a unique location: Vesalius. Here, Vesalius Next forms a powerful duo with the Vesalius Museum, where the rich history of science and healthcare is celebrated. In the museum, you will discover how science and healthcare have shaped our lives, through historical artifacts, art, and stories that invite reflection. This combination of past and future, complemented by the iconic anatomical auditorium, makes Vesalius the place where innovation and heritage come together.
