The main theme for Life Science Live 2019 is artificial intelligence and its applications in, for instance, healthcare, pharmaceutical development and biotechnology. The event program consists of three tracks.

The two sessions of the Science Track have been entitled “Intelligent Solutions for Health” and “Personalized Health”. The programme committee has invited internationally known experts representing academic research, enterprises and public agencies to cover these timely topics. There will also be built a large exhibition that introduces e.g. the latest research projects and innovations, life science technology platforms and biobanking. The Science Track is coordinated by the University of Turku, Åbo Akademi University and Turku University of Applied Sciences.

A two-day-long i-HD (The European Institute for Innovation through Health Data) conference focuses on “Maximising the value of health data to all”. The vision of i~HD is to improve healthcare and to accelerate research through more trustworthy learning from health data. i~HD has specialist expertise in information governance, privacy protection (including GDPR compliance) and information security, in particular regarding the reuse of health data in research under a variety of legal bases.

HealthBIO now part of Life Science Live

The third track is the traditional, since 2007 organised HealthBIO Seminar and Partnering Event. It is organized by HealthTurku team of Turku Science Park Ltd. HealthBIO has become the biggest annual Finnish health-biotech company meeting. The program – in English – covers highlights of the recent industry milestones and prospects for the future in Finland and Europe with international speakers as well as funding trends and success stories of fast-growing SMEs.  The day ends with an informal get-together event.
