The presentations will consider how these fields are creating significant improvements in surgical planning and intervention. \nToday\, the use of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in healthcare is expanding. Augmented Reality\, Virtual Reality and Extended Reality (XR) are now much more common terms linked to the delivery of realistic interactive experiences through real-life simulation and user immersion. Technologies including the Microsoft HoloLens and the Vuzix AR platforms have provided additional and exciting possibilities linked to healthcare and surgery. Surgeons rely on information from CT scans\, MRI’s\, X-rays and other patient data sources to determine surgical requirements and to preoperatively plan prior to a surgical procedure. If using wearable technologies\, this data could be represented in a surgeon’s line of sight\, utilising AR tools to potentially provide significant surgical procedural advantages during an operation and ultimately improve patient outcomes. \nChaired by Professor Phil Breedon\, Professor of Smart Technologies at Nottingham Trent University\, this session brings together a panel of leading experts\, including: \n\nJason Watson\, Consultant Maxillofacial Prosthetist\, Nottingham University Hospital\nRory O’Connor\, Consultant in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Major Trauma\, Nottingham University Hospital\nDr Arsham Khayatpoor\, Medical Account Manager\, Materialise UK\n\nThis in-person event will also allow ample time for Q&A and networking. \nCLICK HERE TO SECURE YOUR PLACE TODAY\nThis free-to-attend event is held as part of the INSTILS programme – a project part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund\, click here to be re-directed to further information about the project.  \nPlease note: whilst this event is held as part of the INSTILS programme\, attendance is not restricted to companies in the D2N2/NG area and is open to all. \nSpeaker Profiles \n \nJason Watson\, Consultant Clinical Scientist in Reconstructive Science\, Nottingham University Hospitals Trust \nJason completed his post graduate training at the Northern General Hospital\, Sheffield\, in the 1990s.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Harlow: New Horizons in Health Technology & Data
DESCRIPTION:As we move into the second phase of our partnership project with Arise Innovation Hubs at Anglia Ruskin University\, we invite you to join us next month for this online event. \nThe importance of place and how this impacts our ecosystems and places of work is a question of increasing importance. Featuring talks by local experts and key stakeholders\, this session explores the novel opportunity around Harlow and West Essex for innovation and the convergence of data and health technology. In doing so\, we ask: how can we maximise the regional\, national and global impact of our unique combination of location and resources? \nThe session will highlight several projects that are underway and planned for the town\, including the Kao Data Centre which houses the NVIDIA Cambridge-1 Supercomputer\, the ambitious\, digitally focused redevelopment of the Princess Alexandra Hospital\, and the potential relocation of the UKHSA (formerly Public Health England). The session will consider how these and other local developments make Harlow an exciting prospect and a shrewd choice for innovators and entrepreneurs working at the intersection of data and health technology. \nSpeaker Profiles: \n \nBeverley Vaughan\, Innovation Hubs Director\, Anglia Ruskin University \nDr Beverley Vaughan joined the Arise Innovation Hubs as Director in June 2021\, with over 20 years’ experience in the healthcare and life sciences sector. \nBeverley trained as a clinical scientist in Haematology and worked at Cambridge and London University Hospitals. Beverley has worked in the innovation sector for the last 10 years with roles in Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst (SBC)\, Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult (CGT) and the University of Oxford. \nWhilst at SBC Beverley supported the development of translational research facilities and raised funding from multiple pharma and biotech companies for the Open Innovation Challenge in Neurodegeneration.  At CGT Beverley managed a wide portfolio of project from novel drug discovery spin outs to NHS-led delivery of cell therapy products.  Most recently she was responsible for the delivery of a drug discovery consortium-UKSPINE- pivoting traditional pathways to meet the demands of healthy aging with partners\, Universities of Oxford\, Dundee and Birmingham\, Medicines Discovery Catapult\, The Francis Crick Institute and Sanger Centre Cambridge. \nSince joining Arise as Director\, Beverley has been working on building the life science strategy for their newest hub located on the Harlow Innovation Park\, leading on strategy\, fund raising and partnering activities to build a cluster of expertise within this synapse of the London-Cambridge corridor.  She is also a member of the NC3Rs CRACKIT advisory panel. \n \nNadia Shivji-Brown\, Senior Business Development Manager\, UK Health Security Agency \nPresentation title: Introduction to the UKHSA \nNadia is a Senior Business Development Manager at the UK Health Security Agency.

His love of teaching\, however\, didn’t go hand in hand with the somewhat meagre financial rewards for such an important role! As such\, Rod has been in IT/Telecoms ever since…through local access services to switchless global networking and latterly the data centre world. Kao Data has given Rod the opportunity to work more closely with the life sciences of OCP/HPC ready deployments\, allowing research to thrive without being hamstrung by the inability to scale! \n \nChris Cook\, Clinical Effectiveness\, Research and Innovation Manager\, The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust \nChris has worked in the Princess Alexandra Hospital Trust for 33 years. Her first role was as the Personal Assistant to the Director of Pharmacy & Sterile Services where she focused on governance and helped to set up Clinical Risk Management in the Trust in the 1990s.

Since then\, multiple pilot studies have been carried out to investigate the proof of concept of the EEG’s capacity to measure hormones\, neurotransmitters and biomarkers.
