THIS YEAR, DigiHealthDay garnered an impressive 1,323 registrations from 105 nations around the world and brought together more than 450 people onsite and online through the streaming platforms Zoom and YouTube, including 15keynote speakers, prominent leaders, experts, students, visionaries, policy makes, and Digital Health enthusiasts, to reflect, participate, learn, question, contribute, and converse on contemporary issues in Digital Health, thereby firmly establishing DigiHealthDay as the premier platform for Digital Health research, education, and networking.
THE TWO-DAY ACTION-FILLED conference wrapped together three Plenary Sessions, three Parallel Sessions, and a Panel Discussion, and topped off with an after-event Reception – the ‘DigiHealthNight’.
EVENTS ON THE 9th began with an exclusive Workshop on Global Digital Health Policy and Strategy Development by Prof. Rajendra Pratap Gupta and following it, in the afternoon was the pre-event Virtual Plenary with keynotes by international renowned speakers: Prof. Bernd Blobel (Germany), Keyrellous Adib (WHO EURO, Denmark), Prof. Henrique Martins (Portugal), Prof. Anne Snowdon of HIMSS Analytics (Canada), Mr. Chenchao Liu (Germany, China), Artur Olesch (Germany, Poland), and Dr. Harvey Castro (USA).

This experience was particularly impactful for Digital Health students and young professionals at DIT-ECRI, many of whom were experiencing their first live interaction with the Global Digital Health Community.
IN THEIR TURN, the speakers and guests were highly impressed by the youthful, diverse, vibrant and dynamic, and most importantly, warm and welcoming nature of the DigiHealth Family in Pfarrkirchen. They universally praised the community as one of the most committed, attractive, inspiring, and invigorating groups of Future Digital Health Leaders they have encountered. This year the onsite joining the DigiHealth Family were also attendee from the BIP, making the DigiHealth Family experience even deeper and broader.

Their presence added new dimensions and depth to the DigiHealth Family spirit.
AN IMPORTANT HIGHLIGHT was the contribution of a delegation from the National Healthcare University in Kyiv, Ukraine, guided by Prof. Ozar Mintser, an Eastern European pioneer in Medical Informatics. In these uncertain times, the delegation made a journey from Kyiv to Pfarrkirchen, marking their second participation in the DigiHealthDay.
PRESENT FOR THE FIRST TIME were also students and staff from the Russian-Armenian University in Yerevan, Armenia that features the Double-Degree counterpart of DIT-ECRI’s Master of Digital Health (MDH), powered by Erasmus+ Mobility Grant allowing not only students and staff from Armenia to visit DIT-ECRI with either short-term, or semester-long stays, but also students from Germany spending a semester in Armenia for an internship (not formally available at DIT-ECRI) in the country’s young but rapidly developing Digital Health sector.
THE NUMEROUS HEARTFELT TESTIMONIALS of the speakers and participants stand witness to the event’s remarkable triumph. Most importantly, the blending of education and learning with family sentiments was a standout experience for most.

TestimonIALS
Speakers
Pilar Fernandez Hermida (UAE & UK)
Last week, a select group of healthtech shakers and breakers headed to a remote place in Bavaria, Pfarrkirchen. The epicentre was the Deggendorf Institute of Technology campus. The magnet was the DigiHealthDay (DHD). Prof. Georgi, the force of nature that brought us together. Away from flashing lights and tsunami-size conferences, DHD felt boutique. Not because of bling, but because it lets shine what matters the most: People. Digitalhealth is about humans helping humans, powered by technology. Thanks for your reminder.
To me, digital health is about humans taking care of humans, powered by technology.
My head is still buzzing from the conversations and great insights shared during DHD. The energy of the students was contagious and it makes me very optimistic for the future of #digitalhealth. Congratulations on a great event Prof. Georgi Chaltikyan and team!
Birgit Bauer (Germany)
Es war uns eine große Freude beim Digihealthday dabei zu sein, ich persönlich habe viel gelernt und neue Perspektiven betrachtet. Und, was mich beeindruckt hat ist diese große Neugierde der Studentinnen und Studenten. I like!
Dr. Harvey Castro (USA)
Excellent speakers and overall conference! I am truly honored to be able to have given a talk at your conference. I want to say thank you for making this possible, and I look forward to meeting everyone in person next year.
Philippe Gerwill (Switzerland)
Hosting those illustrious speakers at Pfarrkirchen for the DigiHealthDay 2023 is a remarkable performance, but the true marvel lies in gathering students from over 100 countries in this small little German town, crafting not just an event, but a lifetime of global experiences.
Dr. Lars Lindsköld (Sweden)
When we engage in active listening and learn from each other by having conversations, we create an opportunity to shift our perspectives and change our minds on what we should or could do to make improvements. Thank you. Looking forward to next DigiHealthDay already :-)

Sergio Serrano Hernández
This conference was one of the very best experiences I have had the pleasure of attending. This would not have been possible without the contribution of all of the people behind the scenes: organizers, speakers, participants, and volunteers. I would like to publicly acknowledge my immense gratitude to Prof. Georgi Chaltikyan for being the mastermind behind this experience. It was truly touching seeing how many people’s hearts he has impacted; he is a clear example of how far dedication and kindness can take you as a person, and I admire that.
As an AI master’s student who attended BIP program, I see a clear need for pushing the advancements of technology in favor of humanity and making the shift towards digitalization in the healthcare sector not only to save lives, but also to improve the quality of life of mankind.
Saga Brilioth
… Intensive doesn't begin to describe this massively impactful week. With a limited background in AI, my contribution was driven by my passion for health, my love for challenge, and my will to learn. In a field historically dependent on human skill, it is beyond fascinating to hear experts unveil the steps we can take toward enhancing precision, security, and revolutionary medicinal discovery. Prof. Georgi Chaltikyan, renowned expert and head organizer of the DigiHealthWeek, THANK YOU does not begin to express my gratitude for having me as a student. You really did bring the family sentiment to this entire event and to all of us. Your masterliness and natural disposition as a leader is inspiring, and I very much enjoyed our captivating conversations. To many more!

It is a charming touristic town, nestled among rolling, picturesque hills, close to the Austrian border and only one hour’s drive away from Deggendorf. Attractive cities nearby are Salzburg, Regensburg and Passau, and Munich is just a 90-minute drive away. The proximity to Austria and the Czech Republic puts the district in the heart of Europe. Pfarrkirchen has excellent school and education facilities, and offers many leisure activities. In the recent years Pfarrkirchen has become culturally renowned in the area due to its exceptional art exhibitions, museum nights and numerous festivals and events throughout the year. In the summer, the old town festival tempts thousands of visitors with its multicultural culinary and musical events.
