Professor Cheng Yang from Takeda mentioning SEARCH in a conference.

SEARCH partners have presented the project at numerous conferences and forums in its first year. Their participation in these events has enabled the project to reach target audiences across medical research, digital health, data privacy, and artificial intelligence.

Taking part in the conferences listed below has provided valuable opportunities to raise awareness about the project, exchange ideas, and stay up to date with the latest developments in healthcare data management, AI, and privacy-preserving technologies, all of which contribute to the objectives of the SEARCH project.

• Mobile World Congress 2025 (4YFN), Barcelona (3 March 2025). TIC Salut Social Foundation (FTSS) communication partner, Georgina Palau, introduced SEARCH at their booth in the conference to global innovators in the digital health and technology sectors.
• International Conference of Computerized Electrocardiology, Bardolino, Italy (14–15 March 2025). Professor Jørgen Kanters, from the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen (UCPH) delivered several presentations on AI-driven ECG analysis, explainable AI, and synthetic data generation, showcasing SEARCH’s contribution to advancing transparency and innovation in cardiovascular research.
• Health Revolution Congress, Barcelona (15 May 2025). The director of Diagnostic Imaging Department at Sant Pau Hospital, Josep Munuera, presented “The Role of Synthetic Data in Healthcare: SEARCH IHI Project”, introducing the project and guiding participants through the opportunities of synthetic data for clinical research and digital health innovation.
• New Initiatives in Cardiovascular and Prehospital Research, Copenhagen (20 May 2025). Professor Jørgen Kanters from UCPH presented “AI and ECGs”, highlighting SEARCH’s synthetic data methodologies for safer data use in cardiac research.
