Get ready to dive into the future of health at the 6th UNGA Digital Health Symposium! This in-person event is the perfect spot to connect, learn, and explore the latest in digital health innovations. This is the annual meeting of global leaders in health, tech, pharma and policy to meet to drive a metamorphosis of health systems through a proactive digital approach called Stay Left, Shift Left-10X. Modelled on the original Solvay conference of 1911 it brings togethers some of the brightest minds to work on solving the biggest problems in our health systems.

The 6th UNGA Digital Health Symposium brings together 60–70 global leaders across healthcare, tech, pharma, academia, nursing, and policy to accelerate real transformation in health systems.

At its core are Mission10X and Vision10X:

• Mission10X – scale what works now to deliver 10x improvement within existing systems
• Vision10X – design a radically better, future health and wellness system

Led by Maynooth University and Seton Hall University, with support from Zebra Technologies, the work feeds into the Digital Health Manhattan Manifesto.

A practical transformation model focused on:

• Stay Left – prevention, early risk detection, health promotion
• Shift Left – earlier, proactive, community and digitally enabled care
• 10X – redesigning systems for step-change improvement, not small gains

Mission10X (Now):

• Scale innovation into real systems
• Enable prevention and proactive care
• Improve outcomes and productivity

Vision10X (Next):

• Build patient-centred, partnership-based systems
• Shift power to informed, empowered citizens
• Enable care through digital, data, and AI

Five core areas:

1. Clinical transformation – prevention-first, integrated care, self-management
2. Finance & business models – funding what works, scaling sustainably
3. Technology & data – platforms, AI, interoperability
4. Workforce & nursing leadership – redesigning roles for community, digital care
5. Education (IDHA) – building global capability in digital health and 10X thinking

To move health systems towards prevention-first, patient-centred, digitally enabled care, powered by confident clinicians and citizens delivering 10x better outcomes, experience, and sustainability.
