With more than 2,500 events created by 1,200 different organizations, Folkemødet (literally translated as 'The People’s Meeting') has become an important democratic event with the purpose of creating informal meetings and dialogue between decision-makers and citizens.

Debate: What does the digital development in the healthcare system mean for patients?

The healthcare system needs to be reformed, and the plans for increased use of digital solutions for patients are in the spotlight. But what do patients and healthcare professionals really think about it? Does it spark joy or concern? What opportunities and downsides do the new digital solutions and ideas bring to the healthcare system? We engage in a conversation with a panel of experts to gain insight into knowledge, experiences, concerns, and opportunities that are important to keep in mind amidst society's rapid digital development.
