Atul Gupta, MD, Global Chief Medical Officer for Diagnosis & Treatment at Philips, will take the stage at TechBBQ 2025 – one of the Nordics’ leading tech and startup summits – to share how disruptive technologies could soon be augmenting healthcare professionals with the aim to help them save lives, extend access to care, and transform health systems from reactive to proactive.
In a fireside chat with Tech.eu Senior Journalist Cate Lawrence, Dr. Gupta will unpack how artificial intelligence, image-guided therapy, new wearables, and even augmented reality are already reshaping diagnosis and treatment, and are poised to give physicians “superpowers” over the next decade. He will share first-hand examples from his clinical work and Philips’ global innovation programs – from AI ultrasound that helps midwives save mothers’ and babies’ lives in remote communities, to precision minimally invasive cardiac and stroke procedures guided by real-time 3D imaging, to potential AR tools that let specialists “teleport” into operating rooms anywhere in the world. With healthcare systems worldwide under mounting strain from aging populations, rising chronic disease, and a mounting shortage of skilled care professionals, he will cover the latest global tech and clinical trends, highlight innovations from around the world, and discuss how startups, cross-sector collaboration, and next-generation talent can help accelerate change and bridge care gaps. While these challenges are serious and real, they also present unprecedented opportunities for innovators, technologists, and entrepreneurs to reshape healthcare, enabling better care for more people. Looking ahead, Dr. Gupta will paint a vision of a more accessible, connected, and sustainable healthcare future – one where predictive analytics could prevent illness before it occurs, and where the next generations of care professionals will never know a world without AI in healthcare.
