Data intelligence and digital innovation in healthcare
Digital tools are changing how health data are generated, connected and interpreted. This session brings together responsible healthcare software development, omics analysis, patient and pregnancy identification in NIPT, and multimodal pre-screening systems. The common goal is to turn heterogeneous data into reproducible, clinically useful insights.
| Time | Speaker | Presentation title |

| 10:00–10:13 | Yevhenii Knizhnytskyi | From Prompt to Prototype: Vibe Coding as a Responsible Accelerator of Software Development in Medicine, Laboratory Diagnostics and Clinical Research |
| 10:13–10:26 | Dominik Hadžega | BioNavira: a platform for interpreting omics data |
| 10:26–10:39 | MSc. Andrej Gnip | Automated Patient and Pregnancy Identification Across Clinical Requests in Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing |
| 10:39–10:52 | Andrej Tóth | Multimodal Physicochemical Sensing System for Stool-Based Pre-Screening of Selected Diseases Using Sensor Fusion and Supervised Machine Learning |
| 10:52–11:00 | Discussion | Questions on the first session and transition between sessions |
Smart materials and sensor platforms for biomedicine
Smart materials expand the possibilities of non-invasive monitoring and biomimetic models. The talks present conductive composites, optical fibre sensors, magnetomechanical sensing and material layers for 3D-printed tissues. The focus is on connecting physicochemical characterisation with practical sensor function.

1st Zdravotný Kompas Conference
Thank you to everyone who attended the first edition of the Zdravotný Kompas, held on 28 July 2025. The event aimed to connect researchers in bioinformatics, biomedicine and healthcare technologies with practical data tools.
The main theme was the use of data analytics in biomedical research. We believe the new connections and shared knowledge will help advance biomedicine and healthcare innovation in practice.
