In 2019 WiTT brought together a panel of experts to explore the latest trends in Medtech. On March 18th we’ll revisit the sector, which we now refer to as HealthTech. (For this event we use the World Health Organization’s broad definition of HealthTech: “Health technologies include medicines, medical devices, assistive technologies, techniques and procedures developed to solve health problems and improve the quality of life.”)
There’s no doubt technology is changing and enhancing the world of medicine and health care. This event will examine which innovations have fulfilled their promise, which are still works in progress (or failures), and which new developments are on the horizon.
Our speakers will consider the growing role of AI in diagnostics, drug discovery, data management and personalization of care provision (including the use of agents and chatbots); robotic surgery and other robotic devices such as a new generation of prosthetics; wearable tech; telemedicine, telehealth and patient portals; and the use of immersive technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality for patient care and medical training.
Annette Nabavi, WiTT board director and Non-Executive Director at iomart, will chair the panel. She will be joined by Karen Taylor, Head of the Centre for Health Solutions at Deloitte UK. Other speakers will be announced soon.
Our evening will be begin at 6:00pm with drinks and networking. The panel will run from 6:30 to 7:45, including Q&A. We’ll conclude the evening with networking and refreshments.
WiTT would like to thank Venner Shipley for hosting.
