Lucien Engelen

Lucien Engelen is Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer (CSIO) at ICT&health, a member of the ICT&health Conference Board and Chair of the ICT&health Editorial Board for its Global, German and Belgian platforms.

In these roles, he helps shape the strategic and editorial direction of ICT&health, with a strong focus on healthcare transformation, digital health and the implementation and scaling of innovation. His work centres on a fundamental question: how can technology, policy, leadership and behavioural change come together to create healthcare systems that are sustainable, accessible and centred around people?

Engelen is internationally recognised as a strategist, advisor and keynote speaker on the future of healthcare. He works with governments, healthcare organisations, policymakers, innovators and technology leaders around the world on the transformation of health systems and the impact of digitalisation, AI, patient engagement and new models of care.

He is the founder and former director of the REshape Center for Health(care) Innovation at Radboudumc and founder of Transform.Health, through which he advises organisations on long-term healthcare strategy and transformation.

At ICT&health, Engelen brings an international and practice-driven perspective to the editorial agenda and the ICT&health World Conference. His focus goes beyond identifying promising innovation: it is about understanding what works, what is needed to scale it and how healthcare can turn innovation into measurable impact.
