Join us at the Digital Health Conference on the 21st and 22nd November, 2024, at Henley Business School’s Greenlands Campus in Henley-on-Thames! This year’s FBTN Digital Health Conference is your opportunity to connect with leading experts and explore cutting-edge innovations in blood testing and digital health and AI.
Description:
The Future Blood Testing Network+ is dedicated to creating a multidisciplinary community focused on developing digital health technologies for remote, rapid, affordable, and inclusive monitoring and personalized analytics. Our goal is to address three technology challenges, namely remote monitoring, information and communication technology, personalised analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).
Over the past two years we have hosted successful conferences, including the Future Blood Testing: Challenges and Opportunities 2022 Conference and the Future of Healthcare: Remote Blood Testing, Monitoring & AI 2023 Conference. This year, we will address digital health technologies, the role of AI in health, and the associated challenges in the life, work and the society. Our event will feature a distinguished line-up of industry leaders, academics, healthcare professionals, and policymakers.
We will announce achievements and future opportunities in our Network+. We are also excited to announce that our latest landscape report, “The UK Laboratory Landscape Report”, will be launched at the event. This comprehensive report provides an in-depth analysis of the sector, revealing funding, the potential of cost savings over fit-for-purpose services, staff shortages, and adoption of innovation. It identifies key drivers for improvement and calls for stronger collaboration among stakeholders to ensure high-quality, accessible diagnostics for all.
We are also thrilled to have the World of Work Institute (WOWI) co-host this year’s conference. WOWI is part of the Henley Business School and is dedicated to researching the evolving nature of work and its impact on organizations and individuals. The Institute’s current areas of focus are AI and automation, equity, diversity and inclusion, and flexible working. They will co-organize a panel discussion exploring how digital health is changing the future of work in healthcare. The attendance of WOWI session is free and open to all.
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with experts and explore the latest advancements and challenges in digital health at the FBTN Digital Health Conference.
