Invitation to the Open Digital Health Summit – 1st to 3rd December, 2024
The Open Digital Health Summit <fullstac.health/>, a 3-day
conference to be held in Nairobi, Kenya from December 1-3, 2024, aims to
address the needs of technical stakeholders involved in national digital
architecture and the development of digital health solutions. This
inaugural summit is themed, “Accelerating Full-STAC on FHIR” and will focus
on leveraging open standards, technologies, architectures, and content (the
“full-STAC” approach) to accelerate digital transformation in healthcare.
Key topics will include:
– The latest developments in leveraging HL7 FHIR within digital health
solutions
– Architecting solutions for interoperability and standards-based
digital health architecture using Open Health Stack
– Leveraging WHO SMART Guidelines content in digital health solutions
– Adapting legacy systems to leverage interoperability standards
– Achieving interoperability across multiple systems through HIEs
– AI for digital health, including Generative AI and Large Language
Models.
The summit expects 150-200 participants, primarily software developers,
solution and systems architects, and technical program managers from the
public and private sectors. Through a blended program of expert-led talks,
hands-on workshops, and self-directed learning, participants will gain
knowledge and skills to advance open digital health transformation and
strengthen national digital health ecosystems. There are two session
tracks, (i) “Building with FHIR” for software developers and product teams
and (ii) “DPIs for Health” that is geared towards Government Architects.
Key partners in organizing the summit include WHO, ITU, HL7, HELINA, Africa
CDC, Google Health, IntelliSOFT, Ona, Medic, PATH Digital Square,
Medtronic Labs, OpenMRS the McGovern Foundation and others, with the Kenya
Health Informatics Association (KeHIA) as the implementing organization.
Applications are now open until October 18th following a review period (of
1 week) when successful participants will then be invited to register.
