3rd Smart Hospital Summit 2026

PARTNERS 2026

Overviews

Reimagining how healthcare is delivered, connected, and experienced.

Hospitals are becoming digital ecosystems.

Diagnostics are powered by AI.

Care is no longer confined to buildings — it’s mobile, continuous, and data-led

The 3rd Edition of the Smart Hospitals & Diagnostics Summit 2026 is a one-day, high-impact gathering of the people, platforms, and policies shaping India’s next-generation healthcare systems.

This year’s summit goes beyond digital buzzwords

We’re diving into real-world applications: AI in diagnostics, robotics in surgery, hospital automation, remote monitoring, mobile health, wearables, and platform-based virtual care.

It’s not just what’s possible — it’s how we scale it, securely, ethically, and inclusively.

We’re bringing together leaders who aren’t just imagining the future — they’re already building it.

Hospital CXOs, health-tech founders, diagnostics pioneers, policy drivers, and system architects will converge to explore how technology is transforming the way we care — across infrastructure, intelligence, and inclusion.

This is the frontline of India’s digital health movement — grounded in real-world adoption, implementation, and measurable impact.

One platform. Every perspective. Real outcomes.

KEY THEMES

EVENT AGENDA

Session I :- Reimagining a Patient-First Healthcare System for a Viksit Bharat

Healthcare systems are transforming to place patients at the centre of care delivery. This session examines how hospitals, diagnostics providers, and digital health innovators are reimagining patient experience, from first contact to recovery, through empathy-driven design, inclusive access, real-time feedback mechanisms, and outcome-based care models

Session II :- Smart & Patient Centric Diagnostics & Preventive Screening: Precision, Speed & Access

Diagnostics are increasingly the first and most critical touchpoint in a patient’s healthcare journey. This session highlights innovations across molecular diagnostics, imaging, early disease detection, and point-of-care testing — while addressing how integrated diagnostic networks can reduce time to treatment, improve equity, and build preventive health cultures across urban and rural populations

Session III :- Advancing Chronic Disease Care: Technology, Integration, and Patient Experience

Chronic diseases account for a significant burden on India’s health systems. This session focuses on integrated, long-term care pathways that combine prevention, technology, insurance collaboration, and outcome-based monitoring to improve patient quality of life

FIRESIDE CHAT :- Beyond the Genome: Reimagining Patient-Centric Care in Genetic Diseases

An intimate conversation exploring the rapidly evolving landscape of genetic and rare diseases. The discussion will cover advances in genetic testing and genomic sequencing, the role of counselling and family-centred care, ethical challenges in disclosure and data privacy, and how precision medicine and gene therapies are redefining what’s possible for patients with hereditary conditions.

PANEL DISCUSSION :- Jhipiego: Bridging HIV and Cervical Cancer Care: Integrating HPV Screening for Women Living with HIV

To deliberate on the importance, feasibility, and challenges of integrating HPV screening into HIV care services for women living with HIV, and to identify actionable strategies for scale-up in India.

Objective: Examine barriers to HPV screening uptake among women living with HIV Explore integrated service delivery models combining HIV & cervical cancer care Identify policy levers and programmatic enablers for national scale-up Discuss the role of community health workers, patient advocacy, and digital tools

Session IV :- Emerging Trends in Metabolic Health: A Patient-First Approach to Prevention & Care

Metabolic health challenges are rapidly evolving, with rising trends in obesity, diabetes, and lifestyle-related disorders across all age groups. These interconnected conditions are reshaping the burden of chronic disease and demand a more proactive, patient-centric approach at the frontline of care.

Session V :- Advancing Health Equity — A Patient-First Approach from Policy to Grassroots

Health equity is at the heart of building a resilient and inclusive healthcare system. This session will examine how patient-centric policies can move beyond intent to implementation, ensuring meaningful access, affordability, and quality care at the grassroots level. The discussion will highlight strategies to bridge infrastructure and workforce gaps, strengthen primary healthcare networks, and foster collaborative partnerships that create measurable impact across both urban and rural communities.

Session VI :- Merck Session: Voices That Matter: Patient Expectations from Bladder Cancer Treatment

This session will highlight the importance of Quality of Life (QoL) in the holistic management of patients with bladder cancer, going beyond clinical outcomes to encompass physical comfort, emotional well-being, dignity, and daily functioning. Experts will discuss patient-centered care approaches, management of treatment-related side effects, psychological support, rehabilitation, survivorship needs, and the role of caregivers in improving overall patient experience and outcomes

AWARDS CEREMONY :- Patient First Awards & Smart Hospital and Diagnostics Awards

Celebrating excellence in patient-centred care, smart healthcare innovation, and diagnostic advancement. Recognising hospitals, institutions, and individuals who are setting new benchmarks for what it means to put patients first.
