parallel sessions

In the afternoon parallel sessions we present work of three of the University of Twente’s multidisciplinary strategic programmes, but moreover we provide the opportunity for visitors to pitch their visions, solutions, problems, questions or ideas for collaboration related to the specific topic and discuss with the audience. We hope this will result in new insights or ideas to further improve healthcare!

session 1: health tech implementation

What is needed to bring health technology successfully to the market? Why is implementation so difficult? Together with healthcare professionals, patients, business and science, we as TechMed Centre want to improve the translation, adoption, safe and effective use of health technology. Come join us and discuss with us how TechMed can make the difference.
