Ericsson Nikola Tesla presented AI solution for digitalization of clinical guidelines at European healthcare hackathon
February 26, 2026
Ivan Drnasin, solution designer in the eHealth department of Ericsson Nikola Tesla and member of the xShare project working group for healthcare plans, participated at the international event Care Plans and Clinical Reasoning, held as part of the Finnish Health Data Hackathon from 19 to 21 January 2026 in Helsinki. The event was organized by HL7 Finland and it brought together leading European experts in digital health.
On this occasion, he presented an innovative end-to-end AI approach to transforming narrative clinical guidelines into structured, computer-readable and executable models that can be directly applied in health information systems and provide decision-making support to physicians.
The participants’ great interest was also confirmed by the interactive hands-on workshop which was held on both days of the event so that participants who were unable to attend the first day, as well as those who wanted to further deepen the topic, had the opportunity to see the solution demonstration again.
During the presentation, it was shown how medical guidelines can be digitally processed, linked to patient data, and automatically generate a personalized treatment plan. The Finnish guidelines for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were used as a practical example, making the demonstration applicable in a concrete and real clinical context.
Participation in the hackathon is part of Ericsson Nikola Tesla’s broader engagement in developing solutions for the European Health Data Space (EHDS), which aims to enable safer and more efficient exchange of health data between European Union member states.
With this contribution, ENT further positions itself as an active participant in shaping European standards for digital health and confirms its role of an innovator who is already applying artificial intelligence methods, modern interoperable standards and advanced architecture. In this way, our eHealth department demonstrates technological maturity and readiness for the future, developing solutions that improve the experience of patients and healthcare professionals across the EU and lay the foundation for a new generation of smart, integrated and personalized digital services.
