Future-Proof Healthcare: AI & Cybersecurity Insights for Leadership & C-Level Teams
Our 2024 Healthcare Summit, which took place on October 17th at our Munich headquarters, provided a platform for insights sharing and networking opportunities focused on the integration of AI and cybersecurity in healthcare. While these topics are increasingly crucial, many healthcare organizations are still in the early stages of leveraging AI and advanced digital solutions. With rising challenges around data protection and operational resilience, healthcare leaders must embrace AI-driven cybersecurity strategies to safeguard their future.
In addition to a panel session with Dr. Anja Konhäuser (Founding Partner, OMMAX), Christian Brugger (Partner Data & AI, OMMAX), Dr. med. Markus Leyck Dieken (ex-CEO, gematik), Arwid Zang (CEO, greenhats) and Dr. Andreas Vath (Partner Private Equity and M&A, Luther), the event also featured focus sessions on the pressing topics of go-to-market, the war for talent, and data-driven integration & decision-making.

Our key takeaways from the event
1. Current Situation in Germany and the EU
- Over 420 million ePrescriptions recently rolled out in Germany. However, Germany is lagging behind in digital healthcare adoption compared to other EU countries.
- The European Health Data Space (EHDS), a new regulation making it easier to exchange and access health data at EU level, is gaining momentum, and companies should be prepared for this internationalization of data process.
- Industry innovations include AI applications in radiology and pathology.
2. Cybersecurity Challenges
- It's not a matter of if, but when an organization will experience a cyber attack, with average costs ranging from 3.5 to 4.2 million USD per breach.
