No need to stargaze, digitalisation in healthcare is already here, say health experts (euractiv, link):

"The digitalisation of health care is set to be a hot topic for the new European Commission, with new Commission President Ursula von der Leyen making clear her ambition to ensure that the next five-year EU legislative cycle harnesses the potential of digital innovation to drive improvements in all aspects of healthcare.

This included a pledge to create a European Health Data Space and to adopt legislation on AI in the first 100 days of office."
