2nd International Conference on

Welcome to this year's Digital Health Innovations & Advanced Nursing Practice Conference in Amsterdam! I am delighted to welcome you to this wonderful event in The Netherlands. Amsterdam is a city renowned for both its rich history and forward-thinking technological innovation, provides the perfect backdrop for our gathering. This year’s theme focusing on digital technologies in health and nursing highlights just how rapidly this field is evolving. As an invited speaker, I am incredibly happy to contribute to this progressive dialogue by discussing natural alternatives to health that can deeply support nurses in their demanding roles. During our time together, I look forward to shedding some light on common misconceptions surrounding natural alternatives, such as homeopathy, acupuncture, and energy medicine in general. Whether you are here to explore the latest digital advancements or to discover holistic ways to support your patient’s well-being, this conference aims to foster networking, collaboration, and the exchange of cutting-edge ideas. Welcome to Amsterdam! I wish you all an inspiring, successful, and fulfilling conference experience.

It is an honor, to welcome you on behalf of the Scientific Committee to the 2nd International Conference on Digital Health Innovations and Advanced Nursing Practice (DHN 2027), which will be held in hybrid format from April 22-23, 2027, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. DHN 2027 will address the innovation of nursing practice through digital health, thereby using transformative technologies for revolutionizing patient care. The conference will highlight emerging technologies, innovative care models, and digital solutions that are transforming patient care and healthcare systems worldwide. That way, we will advance patient-centered care delivery through new technologies as well as integrative and evidence-based approaches in the context of the ongoing transformation of health and social care ecosystem. Thereby, we have to integrate research, technology, pharmaceutical research and development personalized care, based on the latest advancements and inventive approaches. The healthcare paradigm advanced from empiric and phenomenological through evidence-based and person-centered medicine to personalized, preventive, predictive, participative precision medicine (P5M). Thereby, we must consider and understand the individual health status, conditions and genetic and genomic dispositions in personal social, occupational, environmental and behavioral context at any level from elementary particles up to society and universe. This requires the inclusion of actors from multiple domains as well as the subject of care with their own methodologies, languages, ontologies, education and skills. I have developed the model and framework for managing integration and interoperability in such highly complex, dynamic, context-aware, multi-disciplinary transformed healthcare ecosystem, meanwhile standardized in ISO 23903. Because of its formal and foundational nature, the methodology is not restricted to health and social care, but has been successfully deployed already in many other domains, such as pharmaceutical research and development, nanotechnology, environmental sciences, education, etc. Welcoming you in Amsterdam, I’m sure that this conference will provide an excellent platform to discuss trends, innovations, and best practices in digital health and advanced nursing, thereby shaping the future of healthcare, healthcare technologies and practices, research and education. So enjoy a successful event.
