Join the HeatlhTech SIG for a half-day event exploring the transformative shift from traditional hospital-centered care to decentralized healthcare models.
As community hospitals, home-based care, distributed clinical trials and patient assessments redefine the landscape, industry experts will convene to tackle pressing medtech challenges. Keynote speakers and panel discussions will delve into overcoming infrastructure, accessibility and equity barriers, leveraging innovative technologies and data-driven solutions.
Attendees will engage with real-world case studies, debating the opportunities and obstacles in serving diverse community needs. By convening stakeholders from healthcare, medtech and policy, this SIG event aims to foster collaborative solutions, propel innovation and enhance patient-centered care.
Employees of CW member organisations and those working in the NHS can attend this event for free. Tickets for non-members are £50 plus VAT.
