About the group

The mission of our group is to connect people and organisations who have specific technology challenges in healthcare with potential solution providers from within the wider CW community.

In the healthcare market we are seeing a growing need for innovative technologies across the spectrum of care that allow people to be treated in their homes, enable independence, improve early diagnosis of disease, enhance patient outcomes and prevent disease progression.

We believe that it is important to raise awareness of these unmet needs across the CW community in order to identify solutions from organisations who can address them with innovative and effective technologies. The Healthcare SIG will support this process by identifying areas of mutual interest, exchanging information, and developing strong and effective links between member organisations.

The healthcare SIG is driven by a passion for technology, and will focus on the following areas:

  • Deep learning in medical imaging
  • Voice technology in healthcare
  • The future of medical robotics in the healthcare sector
  • AR/VR/MR in healthcare

We welcome input from CW members for our events so please do contact us.
