INDUSTRIAL & SOCIETAL PANEL hosted by Karolinska Institutet
Precision medicine (PM) is a model that proposes the customization of healthcare, with medical treatments being tailored for patient subgroups, instead of a one‐treatment‐fits‐all model. PM will enable safer diagnostics, more efficient treatments, reduce healthcare injuries and increase survival based on the individual patient’s unique conditions, genetic profile, and specific biomarkers.
The introduction of artificial intelligence is today providing a paradigm shift with machine learning algorithms used for genomic sequence and to analyze and draw inferences from the vast amounts of patient data. These challenges for the healthcare system will be discussed.

INDUSTRIAL & SOCIETAL PANEL hosted by Region Stockholm
How will healthcare develop towards 2040? What are the future needs and solutions? How will the skills and competencies need to change, and how do we prepare for the future?
Region Stockholm is undertaking a thorough investigation on the future of healthcare, called “Health and Health Care 2040”. By analyzing several aspects including digitalization, the investigation will form the basis for decisions on concrete changes in future care. Good coordination and long-term solutions are highlighted as crucial together with competent leadership and virtual health care.
Already today an increasing and ageing population drive demand on the healthcare providers and equal care, individual demands, cost and technology development need to be factored in. Aspects such as patient care, patient security, quality and efficiency are in focus, while opportunities with precision medicine and digital healthcare solutions are emerging. With the pandemic came additional challenges and at the same time speed up innovation and digitalization.
As a step towards the future, a new Life Science strategy was launched earlier this year for the Stockholm region that leads the way towards 2025. With the ambition to be amongst the top five regions in the world within Life Science, five strategic development areas are highlighted:
- World-leading access to structured health data
- A health care available for collaboration
- Precision medicine
- Interdisciplinary collaboration
- Life science companies that develop and grow in the Stockholm region.
During the panel, we will discuss how Region Stockholm is preparing for the future and how the strategy is a step in the right direction and what competencies are needed.
