At the Digital Health Festival 2026, AGFA HealthCare welcomes the opportunity to Empower the imaging community once again! Taking place on 20-21 May at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC), this premier event brings together leading innovators, healthcare professionals, and technology experts to explore the future of digital health, united under this year’s theme: “Transforming healthcare through connection.”

At AGFA HealthCare, we focus on Empowerment – providing a connected, user-centric experience to improve the service offering to the patient. We recognise that organisations are navigating workload surges, depleting resources, and increasing complexity – the ability to seamlessly connect imaging, workflows, and clinical insights is critical to improving both efficiency and the delivery of patient care.

AGFA HealthCare’s Jamie Osmond, Regional President for ASPAC, has over 20 years in imaging, and was involved in the deployment of clinical solutions in some the country’s most challenging territories. A firm advocate of “connected imaging”, he reflects on importance of interoperable technologies in healthcare:

“For me, patient care is personal. Australian health systems operate in regions of compromised infrastructures – hosting a multitude of complex legacy systems that are working to ever increasing performance parameters. Events like the Digital Health Festival provide us a forum to both highlight the growing importance of diligent and meaningful connections, but also discuss the unique attributes of our national health systems.

Australian healthcare ecosystems need to be empowered with high-performing, inter-connecting technologies – ones that offer true interoperability. At DHF this year, we are ready to show you this Empowerment. Our teams are focusing on connectivity between systems, data, and people  – bringing together imaging, data, and workflows into a cohesive experience that reduces complexity and enables clinicians to stay in their flow.”

At this year’s festival, AGFA HealthCare will highlight its ongoing commitment to innovation and delivering connected, future-ready solutions for healthcare providers. Central to this approach are several key pillars:

• Streaming Client technology – enabling faster, more flexible access to imaging data across distributed environments
• RUBEE® AI packages and Integration Ecosystem – enabling intelligent, connected workflows and advanced analytics
• Workflow orchestration – streamlining processes and improving coordination across departments and sites
• Cloud readiness and SaaS transformation – enabling secure, scalable access to systems and data

As part of our Empowerment drive, Jamie is set to share his visions at a designated technology session. “From Complexity to Clarity – Redefining the Enterprise Imaging Experience” will be presented to the event’s footfall of IT Directors and Digital Transformation Executives. This session will explore how healthcare providers can simplify fragmented imaging environments by enabling greater connectivity across platforms and teams. By breaking down silos and enhancing interoperability, enterprise imaging can evolve into a more intuitive, scalable, and collaborative experience.

Together, these innovations are designed to strengthen connections between clinicians and data, between departments, and across the entire care continuum. Throughout the event, our team will be on hand to demonstrate how these capabilities come together to empower clinicians and IT teams alike – enhancing collaboration, supporting confident decision-making, and ultimately improving patient care.

We look forward to connecting with peers, sharing insights, and contributing to the ongoing transformation of healthcare through stronger, smarter connections.
