Session teaser

Over the past decade, the integration of technology within health care has becoming increasingly visible to the European citizen, through the citizen’s own encounters with Digital based eHealth Care. Robots, Telemedicine, Artificial Intelligence and Block-Chain are a few of the new technologies and processes that are evident. These new emerging technologies in eHealth Care use vast amounts of data gathered from a variety of sources. This data, it’s nature, collection, availability, integration, management, quality, retention and disposal, drive the development of new technologies and decision making. The future lies with data driven technologies. The presenter through a series of questions is seeking insight, observations and stories regarding these developments in Digital Health Care.
