As cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death and disability in Europe, this timely discussion will examine how trustworthy, validated AI tools can strengthen prevention, improve early and accurate diagnosis, and support more efficient, integrated care across healthcare systems.
Throughout the day, experts from EU institutions, national authorities, clinical practice, industry, and patient organisations will share perspectives on how responsibly deployed AI can promote more equitable outcomes across Member States. The programme will also situate these discussions within the EU’s broader digital health agenda, including the momentum toward data‑driven prevention and the recently published EU Safe Hearts Plan.
By bringing together voices from across sectors under the Cypriot EU Council Presidency, the event offers a unique platform to align priorities and shape the future of digital cardiovascular health in Europe. With strong governance, harmonised datasets, and clear safeguards, AI has the potential to become a powerful enabler of earlier detection, personalised care, and reduced inequalities.
The conversations in Nicosia will help set the tone for continued progress throughout 2026 and beyond, highlighting how innovation, when guided by robust standards and patient‑centred values, can help deliver better cardiovascular health for all.
