HM Hospitales and Huawei Unveil Global Smart Healthcare Showcase at MWC 2026
During the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona in 2026, a significant advancement in healthcare technology was unveiled as Huawei announced its partnership with HM Hospitales to launch the Global Smart Healthcare Showcase. The theme of this engaging summit was "AI+, Accelerating Healthcare Intelligence," bringing together a plethora of world-renowned health experts, academics, and industry partners to explore the future of digital and intelligent healthcare solutions.
Li Junfeng, the Vice President of Huawei and CEO of the Global Public Sector Business Unit, addressed the audience, highlighting that this showcase is not only a first for Huawei in Europe but also an important step in integrating cutting-edge Chinese digital technology with European healthcare expertise. The collaboration aims to establish a practical model for the smart modernization of the global healthcare sector.
Xavier Tarrago Bonfill, the Digital Transformation Project Director at HM Hospitales, elaborated on the technical architecture and application achievements of the showcase in his opening speech. The project focuses on enhancing digital and intelligent infrastructure while implementing Huawei's innovative solutions, including medical technology digitization and intelligent hospital campuses. The initiative is pushing forward the development of smart hospitals with advanced management scenarios, incorporating high-performance devices and deploying Wi-Fi 7 alongside 2.5GE wired access to meet clinical demands for low latency and high bandwidth.
A crucial component of this partnership is the deployment of CloudCampus and CampusInsight platforms, which facilitate intelligent network operation and maintenance. In the medical technology arena, the group has fortified its Hospital Information System (HIS) and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) using Huawei's all-flash, active-active gateway-less storage solution. This ensures seamless continuity in healthcare services.
By further integrating a scalable storage-based medical data lake, the group enhances automatic prioritization of vast amounts of unstructured data. This adjustment not only addresses the evolving demands of imaging and pathology systems but also establishes a high-speed digital base for smart diagnostics and treatments.
The launch of the Global Smart Healthcare Showcase represents a pivotal milestone in the strengthened partnership between Huawei and HM Hospitales. Both organizations have leveraged their unique strengths to share resources and gain mutual benefits, opening up new horizons for the global implementation of smart healthcare solutions. Looking ahead, Huawei aims to continue its leadership through innovation, working closely with clients and partners worldwide to introduce intelligence into every hospital, thus co-authoring a new chapter in industrial intelligence.
