We are in the midst of a digital transformation across society that brings opportunities and challenges. What used to work isn’t good enough anymore in a world that is increasingly becoming digital.

In his lectures, keynotes, masterclasses, TED-talks and brainstorms Lucien Engelen is combining his knowledge and networks by always being challenging, sometimes being provocative but always staying techno-realistic. His goal is to prepare for a soft landing into the future, meanwhile creating sustainable global healthcare for all.

As one of the 105 initial LinkedIn Influencers over 830.000 people follow Engelen’s blog, and in his latest book he describes what dramatic changes lie ahead for health and healthcare. It is at the intersection of technology and (digital) patient empowerment where Lucien Engelen feels most at home. 

He is the former and founding director of the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre REshape Center and advisor to the Board of Directors (2010-2018) and his prior experience in healthcare brought him on to the forefront of health(care) innovation.
