The program is taking shape and promises to feature a dynamic lineup of accepted abstract submissions. We aim to host 30 engaging oral presentations and showcase up to 50 insightful poster presentations. Below, you'll find a preview of the program's structure as it begins to come to life.
Welcome & Registration | from 8.45
Start the day with a warm welcome! Upon arrival, check in at the registration desk and pick up your event materials. Enjoy a fresh cup of coffee or tea while connecting with fellow participants before the sessions begin.
Plenary programme | 9.15 - 10.00
09.15 - 09.45 | A Journey into the Future of Healthcare
We will start the Research Day with an experience in which the audience will step into the shoes of a developer and experience how certain decisions influence the medical technology of the future. To do this, they immerse themselves in a futuristic, interactive art project designed by students from the Royal Academy of Art (KABK), shaping the healthcare of tomorrow. From e-health to artificial intelligence (AI) and surgical robots, medical technology is transforming the way healthcare is delivered. But what do we truly value when it comes to the future of care? And what will medical technology look like if our audience gets to develop it? | TL 2275 |
