MedTech Integrates Agenda 2022

Session 1:

09:25 – 10:15

Make yourself at home

Home diagnostic testing has become routine during the pandemic. How could we build on this to enable more effective disease diagnosis from the comfort of our homes?

Networking Coffee

Session 2

10:55 – 11:45

From I to AI – where next?

The WHO recently made tuberculosis the first condition it deemed possible to diagnose from X-rays using software. Will this open up the possibility for AI and data analytics to diagnose more diseases?

Session 3:

Mind over matter

Early diagnosis of neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinsons disease are critical to treatment and prognosis. How can we accelerate early disease detection?

Session 5:

15:00 – 15:50

Just a touch

The pandemic has led to a rise in inactivity and a lack of effective clinical monitoring. This has had a huge impact on patients with necropathy. How can we improve remote monitoring of disease and enable patients to more effectively manage their care?

Drinks Reception
