Presentation
As has been demonstrated throughout the last decades, the development and utilisation of new technological developments in prevention, diagnosis and patient recovery has a direct impact on health outcome indicators, as well as on the safety of healthcare processes. However, although advances in technologies are more and more being introduced within the health and care provision fields, many of the technological developments still have not evolved from an end user-centric perspective, and others just stay as mere proofs of concept.
Providing health ecosystem actors with a holistic view of new technological developments in the field is therefore not only advisable but necessary. This may allow them to obtain a broader perspective in the adoption of technology for health and care provision, as well as participate in the design, development and implementation process of not only medical care provision management, but also the different related technological components involved in providing said services (hardware, software, platforms, protocols, ontologies, etc.).
In addition, the use of state-of-the-art technologies in medical education has proven to be greatly effective, as it allows to create realistic learning environments to experience with procedures and devices that will become common in medical practice and thus increasing future patients’ safety. The accelerated technological advances in our society are causing great transformations in the systems, which make it possible to carry out additional methodologies of training.
The aim of this track is to collect state of the art technological developments in the province of the Health Sciences. Therefore, this track provides an excellent opportunity for the promotion and exchange of innovative experiences in both biomedical training and clinical practice.
