He has held roles covering UK and international marketing, market access and business development across both capital and consumable equipment.
He has a degree in Applied Physics and a post graduate diploma in marketing.
Session: Digital Health Technologies: data access and regulation
Digital health is an umbrella term that is used ubiquitously and there remains little coherent central strategy for delivering the more accessible and cost-effective modes of care that are promised. There are 3 key factors that need to be addressed:
- Public dialogue on the sharing and use of health data
- Regulation of technology, service and data
- Access, interoperability and commercial aspects of data sharing
The talk will cover the situation in UK and NHS
Learning outcomes:
- Understand barriers to adoption.
- Learn the environment and key processes in NHS.
