Kicking Off with Purpose: The Heart of Healthcare
The Summit opened with an inspiring keynote by Dan Michelson, CEO of RLDatix, titled “The Heart of Healthcare.” His message resonated deeply:
“What flows through our software is not bits and bytes… it’s human lives.”
This sentiment set the tone for the two days, emphasising that technology in healthcare should ultimately empower people—patients, caregivers, and providers alike.

A lineup of 25 expert speakers delivered compelling presentations and engaged in panel discussions, fireside chats, and interactive Q&A sessions. Some key highlights included:
