BERG invite you to join us for our annual MedTech @ Leicester day!
Date: Monday 1st September
Venue: LT2 (2nd floor) Sir Bob Burgess Building, University of Leicester, LE2 6BF
What is MedTech/HealthTech? MedTech/HealthTech is the intersection of medical science, healthcare delivery, and cutting-edge technology, encompassing a wide range of innovative devices, software solutions, and systems designed to improve patient care, diagnosis, treatment, and overall health management. This exciting and rapidly evolving field includes everything from wearable health monitors and telemedicine platforms to AI-powered diagnostic tools, advanced medical imaging technologies and tissue engineering, all aimed at enhancing healthcare efficiency, accessibility, and improving patient outcomes.
Why attend? Technologists, clinicians and innovators should attend to learn about the latest developments in MedTech research at the University of Leicester, exciting new projects to contribute to, meet new health technology collaborators and explore opportunities for funded research and innovation projects in this space.
Our strategic objective for this annual MedTech @ Leicester day is to generate new collaborations with clinicians, healthcare professionals, other technologists and innovators to explore additional MedTech translation projects. We are particularly interested to hear from clinicians with expertise in multimorbid conditions – where technologies may improve patient outcomes and manage disease progression.
Meet the team to explore how we might be able to solve healthcare challenges together.
