How new communications technology is transforming healthcare
Telecoms and software have transformed industry yet they have so far failed to reach their potential in healthcare.
However with the system under growing pressure from restricted budgets and the increase of chronic conditions and elderly patients, telemedicine is likely to become increasingly important.
The latest in NESTA’s series of Hot Topics events will look at how telemedicine, the use of telecoms for remote healthcare, can move into the mainstream and how it could help shape the future of healthcare.
We’ll discuss the benefits of telemedicine, mobile health and other technologies on the lives of patients, and the healthcare ecosystem as a whole, and ask what more needs to be done to create a system that can make the most of these technologies.
Speakers include: Adil Abrar, founder and director, Sidekick Studios; Sara Murray, founder and creator of Buddi; Mohammad Al-Ubaydli, CEO and founder, Patients Know Best and Bill McKeon, CEO, Cellnovo
