Conference “Digital Health in a Crisis Context” 9th October 2025

The 2025 Conference of the Global South eHealth Observatory (ODESS) will be held on 9 October 2025 on the topic of ‘Digital health in a crisis context’.

In a world where crises are increasing, the consequences for people’s health and healthcare systems can be seen at all levels. Whether climate-related, conflict-related, economic or directly health-related, crises are making access to healthcare more complex. This edition will explore the role of digital technology in improving access to care, supporting the continuity of health services and meeting the needs of the most vulnerable populations.

From mental health and epidemiological monitoring to drones in crisis contexts and the fight against disinformation, international experts will be sharing their experiences and views on the use of digital technology in crisis situations.

The conference will also provide an opportunity to discover the ODESS 2025 laureate projects, who will be sharing their experiences.

The event will be broadcast live and replayed free of charge, in French and English, on this page and on the YouTube channel of the Observatory and the Pierre Fabre Foundation.
