Hybrid Event - Virtual & In-Person in Lilongwe, Malawi

Dear Malawi Digital Health Community,

Are you passionate about driving innovation in digital health? We invite you to submit your abstract ideas for this year’s National Digital Health Forum, focusing on the theme "Digital Health Solutions for Stronger Health Systems and Better Care." This theme explores how digital health acts as a catalyst and enabler for achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by enhancing health systems through various digital tools and platforms.

Major Topic Areas:

1. Digital Health Solutions for Information Management and Decision Making: Digital health tools are crucial for providing timely, accurate, and synthesized information to aid decision-making at all healthcare system levels. This includes systems like Health Management Information Systems (HMIS), consolidated dashboards, and data pipelines.
2. Digital Health Solutions for Patient-Level Care and Client Information Exchange: These solutions support comprehensive, longitudinal care, allowing healthcare providers to make informed decisions during service delivery. They ensure the availability of critical patient information, such as allergies and previous encounters, enhancing the quality of care and accountability.
3. Digital Health Solutions for Disease Surveillance and Preventive Mechanisms: Digital health solutions improve the ability to detect, monitor, and prevent disease outbreaks. Tools like the One Health Surveillance Platform (OHSP), mobile health apps, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) enhance real-time data collection, analytics, and reporting for better preventive measures and targeted interventions.
4. Emerging Technologies and Solutions: Emerging technologies such as drones for medical supply transport, wearable devices for health monitoring, machine learning, and AI for health dynamics prediction, and robotic devices for healthcare tasks offer innovative approaches to health service delivery. These technologies provide a glimpse into the future of healthcare in Malawi, where such innovations will play a crucial role in improving health outcomes.

This year's event aims to create a global experience, facilitating both in-person exchanges in Lilongwe, Malawi, and virtual engagements worldwide. We encourage you to submit your abstracts and share your innovative ideas to help shape the future of digital health in Malawi and beyond.
