Tuesday, 25 June | 12:00 - 12:45 BST | Online
This interactive talk will look at what digital health is, what its impacts are and what they can be. It will challenge the notion that digital health must be realised as big, national initiatives and that smaller scale projects are impactful. We will ask the audience about their thoughts and we will look at what we are doing at Lancaster University and the Heath Innovation Campus both in terms of research and in terms of collaboration. We will involve one of our long-term partners, Chiptech, a leading and experienced personal assistive technology provider.
Speakers:
- Tamsin Mann – Head of Policy and Governance | PraxisAuril
- Glyn Jones – Research Associate, Health Innovation Campus | Lancaster University
- Sam Winder – Health Partnerships Development Manager, Faculty of Health and Medicine | Lancaster University
- Nick King – Business Development Manager, School Computing and Communications | Lancaster University
- David Hammond – Chief Executive Officer | Chiptech
