Impressions HCI Connect @U8 - Focus Development 2026
This year’s HCI Connect Focus Development 2026 took place in Bern, bringing together developers, partners and other professionals to connect and exchange ideas in person. The focus was on current solutions and developments, practical insights and a shared look at what lies ahead.
Highlights
How can we work together to further advance digital integration in healthcare? Which technologies create real added value? And what role will APIs and artificial intelligence play in the future?
These were exactly the questions at the heart of HCI Connect – Focus Development 2026. Participants gained insights into current developments, shared practical experience and got a glimpse of upcoming topics and innovations. Once again, the event highlighted just how valuable the exchange of knowledge, experience and different perspectives can be.
A particular highlight was the launch of the Documedis Community. Under the motto "Good ideas love good company", it brings together developers, product owners, product managers, business analysts, requirements engineers and other partners from the Documedis ecosystem. This is about more than just technology: The community provides a space to network, exchange ideas and experiences, share best practices and learn from one another. This creates a dynamic network that fosters discussion on digital healthcare solutions.
As well as the community aspect, the focus was on the latest technological developments: from the Developer Portal and APIs, through UI components, to HCI Insights and AI. The sessions highlighted the new opportunities these developments offer. The practical insights were particularly valuable. Early adopters showcased concrete examples of integrations, demonstrating how services of the Documedis platform are already used and the value they bring.
At the same time, attention was already turning towards 2027: New services, AI and MCP open up further potential to integrate processes more closely and to work together to drive forward innovative solutions for the healthcare sector.
Just as important as the presentations was the opportunity for personal exchange. Between the sessions and during the Apéro that followed, there was time to explore topics in greater depth, share experience and make new connections within the community. True to the spirit of “Good ideas love good company”, the event demonstrated how valuable it is to bring together different perspectives and develop ideas collaboratively.
A heartfelt thank you to all speakers, early adopters, partners and participants who enriched the HCI Connect – Focus Development 2026 with their contributions, questions and conversations. We’re taking away lots of exciting ideas and look forward to developing the next ones further together with our community and helping to shape the digital future of healthcare.
