There is a big demand to hear about our digital twins these days. Almost every week, we have been invited to give a lecture in some event, somewhere in the world. And some weeks more than one. In fact, last week, a new record was reached: 5 presentations in 25h! Here is a short description of the five presentations:
1 – Oct 14, 13.15-13.45: Joint presentation with Johan Holmsäter at Holistal’s event Health HUB. This was together with some of the most prominent health leaders in Sweden. Johan Holmsäter started the 500 000 people strong health organization Friskis & Svettis, and is arguably the single person that has made the biggest impact for the health and healthy habits in Sweden. Other important presenters were Birgitta Thörn (CEO of Holistal, and founder of e.g. the gym & health chain Itrim), Göran Adlén (the “aging backwards” guy, and a great lecturer), Anders Rosengren (a Swedish MD with lots of interesting ideas about the mentality of health, and the founder of the successful online tool Livsstilsverktyget), etc. You can read more about the event here, and at these two previous blog posts: post by me, post by Katja.
From the final panel debate. You see Johan Holmsäter to the right in an armchair, Göran Adlén to the left on stage, and Anders Rosengren to the right, also on stage.
2 – Oct 15, 10-12: General rehersal at Norlandia, in the DN house, for the big launch event of our digital twin app, to be held the week after. I had a presentation of ~25 min prepared, where I present how our multi-level and multi-organ digital twin for individuals will enter into an eHealth app, that will be given to all 3000 employees at Norlandia. More about the actual launch event (which was held on Oct 23), will come in a separate blog post.
3 – Oct 15, 12.50-13.20: Pod cast with Cambio, at the big Cambio Connect event. This podcast was broadcasted live for all attendees in the event, over lunch, and will also be sent out later in the autumn to around 1500 health care personnel.

4 – Oct 15, 13.35-13.55 Presentation at the final workshop of MeDigit, a VINNOVA financed project on medical digital twins. I held this presentation online, from a corner in one of the corridors. The minute I was finished, some staff came up to me, and said that I had to “mic up” for the next presentation 🙂
5 – Oct 15, 14.20-14.35 Presentation and panel debate at the big stage at the Cambio Connect event. This was part of the last session, on AI, and wrapped up my crazy 25 hours of presentations, presentations, presentations! After this, it was time to relax a bit, and chill out a few hours at my hotel, before travelling home to Linköping again.
Picture of me at the dinner on Oct 14, in the evening. I didn’t have a lecture then, but this picture gives a feeling for the scale of the event, and the size of the big stage: it probably featured 500+ participants.
