About the Conference
Ladies and Gentlemen!
On behalf of the Polish Association of Hospital Directors, I invite you to participate in a conference for healthcare managers, hospital directors, and executives. The International Conference „Shaping Tomorrow: Artificial Intelligence, Digital Healthcare, and Hospitals of the Next Century” will be held once again in Krakow.
Participate in the strategic debate entitled „The use of artificial intelligence (AI and BI) in the restructuring of hospitals and change of the model of financing outpatient care in the process of reversing the health care pyramid in Poland”. Step into the future of medicine, inspired by the future of medicine and preventive healthcare, with the Longevity Health System AI, powered by artificial intelligence. The conference invites you to a discussion on interoperability, cybersecurity, and legal regulations in the area of medical data and AI. You will also learn how cutting-edge artificial intelligence, advanced digital solutions, and transformational technologies are redefining patient care and hospital systems today, and what „Agent Hospital” will deliver tomorrow.
Join senior executives, hospital directors, heads of primary care and outpatient clinics, IT directors, cardiologists, radiologists, family physicians, and healthcare executives as we chart a course toward a future where healthcare is more innovative, faster, and more efficient than ever before. From groundbreaking innovations to strategic insights, this event is your gateway to tomorrow’s organizations and the medicine of the future.
Discuss, learn, and teach as you shape the future of healthcare – today.
We invite you to participate in our international conference, engage in active discussions, and meet with our management team. Given the importance of the issues discussed, we hope you will accept our invitation.
Best regards,
Prof. Mieczysław Pasowicz, MD, PhD
