The future of human health, with DSMLF
Details
The ability of technology to assist human health is greater than ever before. Digital channels offer numerous opportunities to improve the operation of healthcare systems. For example, they increase access to clinicians and treatment, and can reduce the costs arising from non-communicable diseases and aging populations. But despite these advances, many challenges remain in the design, provision, and delivery of enhanced healthcare.
This event - conversations on the future of human health - is organised by DSMLF (https://dsmlf.info/), with support from Bupa (http://www.bupa.co.uk/) and London Futurists (http://londonfuturists.com/).
