Reserve Your PlaceThis summer, the Festival of Digital Health is proud to be co-organising the “Digital Health Devices” day with the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, on Friday 20th June. The event features as part of the IBME’s MedTech Week 2014, which showcases medical technology/innovations and biomedical engineering across UCL. You can find more information on the MedTech pages – TBA shortly
The aim of the day is to:
- Showcase some of the work going on in digital health devices across UCL – a look at some ways in which the data gathered from medical devices can be used at home or in a clinical setting.
- Medical devices as a gateway to useful patient data and how this can best be analysed/utilised (raising questions around data formats/ unsupervised monitoring/ linkage/ validation).
- Perspective of this area from representatives of the hospitals themselves – UCL Partners.
- Examples from Industry and small companies of their work.
- Goal to bring academics, clinicians and industry together offering an opportunity for networking.
The event is being co-organised by the IBME and the Festival for Digital Health.
The Digital Health Devices day will be followed by a drinks reception at the South Cloisters from 5:30 – 7 pm, providing an opportunity for networking.
