the program

Get surprised by the activities and interactive discussions that we have developed. We believe that this program will inspire and impact the technical medical society. There are inspiring presentations and lectures that give you new insights into the technical medical world of today and the future. What challenges are awaiting us? And how can we respond to these? During the event, where researchers, entrepreneurs, students, clinicians and other stakeholders in healthcare come together, we can take huge steps in these processes. The TechMed Event is taking place for the first time on the 6th of June, 2019. Check out the full program.

Interactive discussion: The role of citizens in innovation in health and wellbeing

We will end the program with a session focusing on citizen science. We asked various stakeholders in the Life Sciences and Health domain to share their views how citizens should be involved in technological medical innovations.. Should citizens have an active and prominent role in the development of these innovations? Or not, or is there a middle ground possible? In this interactive session we invite the audience to engage in the debate on this current issue.
