Your health stories and how tech might change them

Book now to be part of Scotland's first 'Discover Digital' week

Monday, October 22, 2018
Glasgow Caledonian University, Glasgow, United Kingdom

What you need to know

Imagine if…

  • innovators solved the biggest health problems, not just the problems that they experience.
  • innovators had a constant supply of well articulated stories of common problems that need solving, or opportunities that should be exploited.
  • everyone had a toolkit for identifying where changes need to be made, articulating what those changes should be, and then had the motivation and inspiration to make those changes, regardless of obstacles.

Whether you are a professional working in the Health sector, someone who accesses medical services or you simply want to improve your own health and the health of others, this workshop will allow you to help shape the future of technology in Health.

The format of the event is simple. Individuals and groups, supported by experienced mentors, will map out their Health stories. These stories could range from the experience of a surgery patient to the experience of an administrator in a hospital. No story is too small, no experience is too unique, and absolutely no technical skills are required!

Your Health story could be the foundation upon which innovators and entrepreneurs build life-changing digital products.

Join in, share your story, and help shape the future of technology in Health. Free bites and refreshments will be provided.

The stories mapped out at this event will be used to inform the products developed during the Digital Health Product Forge, Europe's biggest health hackathon taking place from the 21st - 24th of February 2019

This event is part of Discover Digital: for your health and wellbeing, Scotland’s first week dedicated to hands on, immersive, multi-media wellbeing events. To see the full listing go to www.alliance-scotland.org.uk/DiscoverDigital.
