Digital Futures: Rethinking Health and Care

Digital Health Week is an opportunity for anyone interested in digital health to share research and ideas.

Digital Health Week 2026 is a collaboration between The University of Sydney, The University of New South Wales, The University of Queensland and The University of Melbourne. Back for its sixth year the 2026 theme is ‘Digital Futures: Rethinking Health and Care’. As digital innovation accelerates, the future of health and care is being redefined. The event will be face to face only at the aforementioned Universities.

It is designed to be informative, provocative, and a showcase of the innovative work being undertaken in digital health in NSW, Victoria, and Queensland. This conference invites researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and technologists to explore how emerging digital technologies—AI, data analytics, remote monitoring, virtual care, social media, and more—are reshaping healthcare systems, professional practices, and patient experiences. Join us for critical conversations, cutting-edge insights, and collaborative opportunities that will shape the next era of health and care.

By fostering discussions around Digital Futures: Rethinking Health and Care, the conference seeks to drive positive change in the digital health landscape, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes for everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances.
