Mobile Health

Building upon our previous meetup in June, which talked about some of the use cases Waracle has been seeing in mobile technology applied to wellness, diagnostics and therapeutics, we are keen to expand on that with two further talks diving into use cases we’ve been developing this year.

Improving surgery with iOS and computer vision

Around 20% of the world’s knee, hip and other joint surgeries require a repeat operation, which in pure cost terms is a multi-billion monetary issue for stretched health services. Working with a startup, Smart Surgical Solutions, we developed an application that uses consumer-grade phone technology to create computer vision and ultimately helps surgeons avoid the mis-measurements that cause so much repeat work and patient inconvenience.

We will walk you through some of the technology choices and trade-offs necessary to make that work, along with a quick demonstration of the app.

Mobile app design: where a little goes a long way

We’ll talk about the design process that goes into a sticky mobile app, particularly in the healthcare space, and how simplifying app design and interactions can go a long way towards building trust.

• Microinteractions and their impact
• Simplifying onboarding for a streamlined customer acquisition process
• Emotional design - creating connection builds engagement

Following this, we will have a panel discussion on the talks and other topics related to digital health, joined by product and technology experts from Waracle, so save your questions!

Lenus Health: How health tech is revolutionising patient care

This talk will introduce the audience to the team from Lenus Health and their collaboration with the NHS, aiming to develop services that benefit patients and lessen the workload on the NHS.

They will delve into “AI Insights”, emphasising the importance of transparency and fairness in AI-driven clinical decisions. They'll also discuss the challenges of this integration and the solutions being adopted, highlighting the transformative potential of AI in healthcare.
