**Not just in Prague**
EIT Morning Health Talk is a series of events that take place in more than 13 regions across Europe, where key opinion leaders, policymakers, public institutions, innovators, start-up leaders and founders, investors and healthcare professionals come together to discuss some of the most pressing healthcare challenges faced by European systems:
* Healthcare system transformation * AI in healthcare * Value-Based Healthcare * Data donation * Cybersecurity * Hospital engagement
**How it started**
The story of Morning Health Talks began in 2019 in Budapest, where it was launched as a high-level business breakfast event to promote EIT Health RIS among key decision-makers in these countries. Since then, the initiative has expanded to other EIT Health RIS countries and has focused on addressing specific healthcare challenges and exploring potential solutions in each local context. In 2022, the initiative tackled two important topics: hospital engagement in innovation and digital health applications DiGA. The local events were complemented by international opening events that brought together experts and stakeholders from different countries. The outcome of these talks was the publication of the report "Towards harmonised EU landscape for Digital Health", which mapped the national digital health ecosystems and identified the current capabilities for introducing a shared European approach to DTx - Digital Therapeutics.
