HealthTechX 2025 Agenda
Confirmed Sessions
Beyond the Hype - AI’s Place in Healthcare
In a segment which relies heavily on doctor-patient relationships, AI offers true potential in how healthcare is delivered. How can developments in AI contribute to improved patient outcomes, efficiency of care delivery and better quality of life?
Confirmed speakers: Dr Hugh Harvey (Hadrian Health), Indra Joshi (Palantir Technologies), Pearse Keane (University College London), Paul Wicks (Wicks Digital Health)
The Evolution of Telehealth in a Post-COVID World
The rationale behind telehealth is to lower costs, improve efficiency and increase efficacy in healthcare delivery. Has the sector as a whole lived up to these expectations to provide a truly comprehensive patient experience at home. What innovations can we anticipate from the next generation of telehealth companies?
Confirmed speakers: Sokratis Papafloratos (Numan), Kalle Conneryd-Lundgren (Kry/Livi)
Hospital to Home - Enabling the Continuum of Care
In practice, most chronic conditions require ongoing care across clinical and home settings, but coordinating this care can be challenging for both patients and providers. How can technology bridge the gap to ensure a seamless transition between hospital stays and home-based care?
Confirmed speakers: Tauseef Mehrali (Ada Health)
From Prescription to Prevention - The Challenge of Lifestyle Change
Treating, preventing, and in some cases even reversing chronic conditions often involves recommending "lifestyle changes," a prescription that's simple to give but challenging for patients or even ostensibly healthy people to implement and maintain. How can technology be implemented to help patients and humanity at large make seemingly elusive lifestyle changes, to help them live as functionally as possible for as long as possible?
Confirmed speakers: Matthew Fenech (Una Health), Peter Ward (Humanity), Joe Stringer (Holland & Barrett, Letterone), Jay Shah (Aktiia)
Mental Health and Prevention
Mental health conditions are increasingly prevalent across global populations, and a mismatch exists between those who require care and those who are available to provide it. This panel will explore the technologies which exist to address this care gap and, importantly, to promote mental health in the population at large, to prevent the development of these conditions.
Confirmed speakers: Miranda Wolpert (Wellcome Trust), Heather Cook (Wellmind Health)
The Efficacy vs Access Axis
If one-to-one doctor-patient interactions are the most effective form of delivery, but technology driven care is the most accessible, how can the healthcare system create solutions for chronically ill patients which are both effective and widely accessible. Are there any true outliers on the axis?
Confirmed speakers: Vishaal Virani (YouTube UK and Ireland)
Cultural Competence in the Digital Age - Bridging Healthcare Inequities
Patients from different cultural, ethnic, and social backgrounds have unique healthcare needs and experiences. The potential of digital technologies in addressing these differences is undeniable, yet they also bring the risk of heightening exclusion among certain populations. How can technology companies bridge inequities in healthcare efficiently without amplifying the health divide further?
Confirmed speakers: Noel Gordon (Telstra Health), Maxine Mackintosh (Genomics England, One HealthTech), Ben Maruthappu (Cera Care), Dr Martin McShane (Optum)
Hearing from the Investors
Across all investment stages, how are top global investors approaching HealthTech investing in 2024? What makes an opportunity stand out?
Confirmed speakers: Pam Garside (Cambridge Angels), Michael Treskow (Eight Roads Ventures), Julien de Salaberry (Galen Growth)
From Data to Diagnosis: Improving Patient Care Pathways
Diagnostic accuracy plays a crucial role in the quality of long-term patient care; it determines the prospect of designing a tailored treatment plan that effectively addresses the patient's specific health issue. How can technology be harnessed to rapidly and efficiently transform clinical assessments into accurate diagnoses and tangible benefits for patients dealing with chronic diseases?
Confirmed speakers: Michelle Tempest (Candesic), Bjoern von Siemens (CareSyntax)
Strategies for Success - HealthTech in the NHS Landscape
For many digital health companies, understanding the direction of travel of the NHS and how to successfully engage and integrate with the healthcare system in the UK can be a challenge. How can healthtech businesses build a solid success story with the NHS, and facilitate access and scaling of innovative products and services for patients?
Confirmed speakers: Tamir Singer (NHSX), Konrad Dobschuetz (NHS Innovation Accelerator)

Systems Under Pressure – Closing the Healthcare Gap
Tackling the Workforce Gap
Healthcare systems face severe shortages, with over 100,000 vacancies in the NHS alone. Explore causes like churn, training gaps and inefficiencies - and hear from innovators working on practical fixes.
What Next for Social Care?
As hospitals feel the strain, care must shift to the community. But this takes political will and private investment. With UK reform delayed, can tech, policy and providers align - or will the moment be lost?
The Rise and Rise of the Health Consumer
Consumer Health - making it work
Buoyed by self-pay, stretched public provision and GLP-1s, many consumer health brands are rebounding, diversifying into B2B and B2B2C. Yet standalone models still struggle, underscoring the need for integrated approaches. This panel explores strategies and models best placed to thrive.
Consumerisation and self-pay - a two-tier health system?
Across Europe, healthcare is tilting toward choice, personalisation and self-pay. What opportunities does this create for investors - and what are the risks of a more consumer-driven system?
Wearables and Value-Based Healthcare
From trackers to diagnostics, wearables are reshaping health. Are they pillars of value-based care - or costly distractions driving overdiagnosis? Leaders debate their role in population health.
Automation and AI in Healthcare
Automation in healthcare - augment or replace?
From surgical robots to AI chatbots, automation is reshaping care. Is this smarter, faster delivery - or the start of replacing human roles?
AI and the NHS
AI is accelerating across the NHS, while regulators scramble to keep up. Big bets hinge on efficiency and outcomes, but questions on efficacy, safety and capacity remain. What impact is AI really having, and what’s next?
Safety and Fairness in AI
AI is embedding into healthcare, planned or otherwise – and so the scope for bias, inequality and snake-oil products grows. This panel asks: how do we mitigate harm, and who sets the standard for fair, inclusive AI?
The Future of Healthcare
Where next for AI in healthcare?
With LLMs increasingly commoditised, real value may lie elsewhere. Investments in medical models show little edge over general ones. Leaders debate where the frontier is – more compute? Data? User experience?
International Investors and European HealthTech
European HealthTech remains undervalued, creating unique openings for overseas investors. This session highlights success stories and the cultural, regulatory and strategic differences to watch.
