Yogyakarta, Indonesia — 23 July 2026 — The Department of Health Policy and Management, Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada (FK-KMK UGM), in collaboration with the Indonesian Association of Health Informatics (IAHI), organized a hybrid workshop titled “Improving Patient Safety and Quality of Stroke Care Through Real-World Data, AI and Digital Innovation.”
Held on Thursday, 23 July 2026, at the Tahir Auditorium, FK-KMK UGM, and online via Zoom, the workshop brought together academics, healthcare professionals, health informatics experts, and researchers to explore the role of real-world data, artificial intelligence (AI), health data interoperability, and stroke registries in strengthening patient safety and improving the quality of stroke care.
The workshop was part of the Transnational Education (TNE) Grant project “Building Intelligent Health Systems for Stroke Care” and the British Council International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF) research collaboration project “StrokeDT.”
The workshop served as a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration among institutions from Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
The StrokeDT research collaboration involves Universitas Gadjah Mada, RSA UGM, and Bethesda Hospital in Indonesia; the LDTRC Middlesex University, the University of Oxford, and University College London in the United Kingdom; and Bach Mai Stroke Center in Vietnam.
Through the TNE Grant and ISPF research collaboration, the participating institutions seek to strengthen academic and research partnerships in the development of intelligent health systems for stroke care.
The workshop highlighted the importance of connecting clinical practice, health informatics, and digital innovation to support improvements in patient safety and the quality of healthcare delivery.
The workshop focused on the opportunities and challenges of using real-world data and digital technologies to improve stroke care.
Real-world data provides opportunities to better understand clinical care, identify gaps in service delivery, and support evidence-based decision-making. Combined with AI and health data interoperability, these approaches can contribute to the development of more connected and intelligent health systems.
The discussions also highlighted the role of stroke registries in supporting the collection, management, and analysis of stroke-related clinical data. Reliable and interoperable data are important foundations for monitoring quality of care, supporting research, and informing health policy.
By bringing together expertise from different countries and disciplines, the workshop encouraged participants to explore how digital innovation can be translated into meaningful improvements in clinical practice and patient safety.
The workshop was organized as part of ongoing international efforts to strengthen stroke care through education, research, and digital transformation.
The collaboration between FK-KMK UGM, IAHI, and international research partners reflects the importance of multidisciplinary approaches in addressing complex healthcare challenges. Health informatics, clinical expertise, health policy, and AI development each play an important role in building health systems that are responsive to patient needs.
The TNE Grant project “Building Intelligent Health Systems for Stroke Care” and the StrokeDT research collaboration provide opportunities for continued academic exchange and collaborative research in stroke care and digital health innovation.
Through these initiatives, UGM and its partners continue to contribute to the development of knowledge and collaborative approaches to improving patient safety and the quality of stroke care.
