The Estoril Congress Center recently hosted one of the most significant events in healthcare and innovation in the region: the Cascais International Health Forum, held under the theme “Live Longer, Live Better”. The conference brought together national and international experts, policymakers, and industry leaders to discuss the challenges and opportunities of an aging population.
Throughout the forum, the concept of healthspan — ensuring that increased life expectancy goes hand in hand with vitality, independence, and well-being — took center stage. Key topics included the integration of artificial intelligence and health data into preventive medicine, as well as strategies to build more sustainable, patient-centered healthcare systems.
Hosting this landmark gathering highlights the municipality’s broader ambition. Cascais continues to position itself as a living lab for urban innovation, where high quality of life, environmental sustainability, and community health drive local policy.
For readers following Cascais News, the event demonstrates how the region is rapidly evolving beyond its reputation as a coastal resort into a international knowledge hub shaping the future of healthy living.
