Radical Health Festival Helsinki is where bold ideas meet real action — and where new alliances for health are born.
We are a festival, not a conference. A movement for those ready to challenge the old ways, rethink prevention and care, and drive health transformation across Europe and beyond. In 2026, we focus on Operationalising Precision Health — making it real, together.
Precision health is a forward-thinking approach to healthcare that personalises prevention, diagnosis, and treatment based on each individual’s unique biological, lifestyle, and environmental data. Going beyond precision medicine, it leverages a life-long approach and enables earlier disease detection, targeted interventions, and continuous monitoring. As highlighted during the last edition the Radical Health Festival Helsinki, this approach represents a paradigm shift to prioritise predictive, proactive, preventive, and personalised healthcare. The 3rd edition now focuses on what it means to operationalise and deploy precision health at scale.
A Paradigm Shift
We know early intervention works — it cuts long-term costs, optimises spending and supports long-term economic sustainability. But the real challenge is this: how do we transform a model so deeply anchored in reactive care —diagnosing and treating — into one that prioritizes prevention?
Radical Health Festival Helsinki 2026 is about demonstrating, with concrete examples from around the world, that this paradigm shift is not only possible, it is already happening. The event will explore various facets of this profound transformation:
- Innovating policy and regulatory frameworks;
- Rethinking healthcare finance and payment models;
- Enabling precision prevention while preserving privacy;
- Updating health data infrastructures;
- Leveraging artificial intelligence and emerging technologies;
- Engaging health and social care professionals as well as citizens;
- Fostering partnerships between governments, healthcare institutions, tech companies, and researchers;
- Bringing health beyond the medical setting;
- Leading, engaging, managing change.
