Digital Health Platforms and the Future of Healthcare Workshop

Digital health platforms are transforming the way we deliver and consume healthcare. In spite of the personalised care opportunities offered by digital technologies, the digital health platforms landscape is still rather fragmented, personal health data and electronic health records are often not integrated in clinical practice and the delivery of integrated pathways of care. The workshop will offer you the opportunity to learn about latest developments, opportunities, and challenges in the digital transformation of healthcare, in a series of thought-provoking and inspirational talks by academic researchers and innovators. You will be invited to actively engage in discussions on how digital health research and innovation can be made more interdisciplinary, inclusive and relevant for practice.

The workshop will be a day of thought-provoking and inspirational talks about the future of healthcare in a digitalised world.
