Since 2009, DPH has been a leading venue for interdisciplinary research and innovation in digital public health, addressing real-world needs through cutting-edge technologies. It uniquely brings together experts from Public Health, Computer and Data Science, MedTech, and key stakeholders including WHO, industry, startups, and NGOs - fostering collaboration, research exchange, and meaningful networking. 

DPH2025, held in Madeira, Portugal, brought together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners from across the globe to explore the evolving landscape of digital public health and its real-world applications. 

Building on this success, DPH2026 will take place in Barcelona, Spain, continuing to expand on key themes and lessons learned. The 11th edition will cover a wide spectrum of topics crucial for public health professionals and central to their continuous professional development.
