Hospital of the Future: Transforming Healthcare with Smart Medical Technology

Healthcare is under increasing pressure. Rising costs, growing demand for care, and persistent staff shortages call for new ways of organising health services. At the same time, technological and social innovations are advancing rapidly, enabling new solutions that make healthcare more efficient, smarter, and more patient-centred. To address these challenges and shape the future of healthcare, research, technology, education, and practice must come together.

On 5 November 2026, the University of Twente in Enschede will host the 8th edition of the TechMed Event, themed 'Hospital of the Future: Transforming Healthcare with Smart Medical Technology'. This is exactly the place where that convergence happens — an inspiring space where professionals from various sectors share knowledge, discover new perspectives, and strengthen valuable collaborations. Throughout the programme, we explore themes that set the course for the hospital of the future. Join us and discover how technology, collaboration, and innovation can make sustainable, personalised care a reality.
