TechMed Event 2025 - Beyond the breakthrough

Friday, 19 September 2025
University of Twente

Technological breakthroughs are only valuable if they make a tangible difference in healthcare practice. This is the central theme of the TechMed Event, organised by the TechMed Centre of the University of Twente on Thursday, 6 November. The annual event brings together researchers, healthcare professionals, companies, policymakers and educators to explore how medical innovations can improve patient care.

Beyond the Breakthrough – Creating Impact Together

Under the annual theme “Beyond the Breakthrough”, the event focuses on the crucial step from innovation to implementation. ‘A promising technology on the shelf does not necessarily translate into better care,’ explains the organisation. ‘It is the collaboration between all links in the chain, from fundamental research to the final application, that ensures innovations actually reach patients and make healthcare smarter, more personalised and more effective.’

The day begins with keynote speaker Danina Kapetanović (University of Waterloo), who will present her vision of the “Hospital of the Future” and showcase CareNext, a coalition that integrates digital innovation, clinical practice and policy to create future-proof healthcare.
