Digital Transformations in Healthcare: Artefacts and Architectures
Thursday 11th May 2017
10.00 – 20.00
This workshop is the last event organised by ‘Delivering Digital Drugs’ project (2014-2017) funded by the Digital Economy Programme. It is an opportunity for the project team to present findings and achievements. However, the focus of the workshop will be forward-looking and the programme is very much future oriented: the future of healthcare, the future of digital healthcare infrastructures, and our future work and collaborations.
The workshop revolves around two linked ‘digital agendas’ for healthcare; issues of artefacts and of architectures. We consider a healthcare constituted in multiple, hybrid, and smart devices working and communicating across traditional institutional boundaries, and perhaps undermining them too. The implication this carries is for transformation – looking towards new services and modes of service delivery that can address contemporary drivers of change – big data and precision medicine (BDPM), patient-centred care (PCC), and the triple-crisis of demographics/demand/cost (DDC).
Special guests for the day will be friends and colleagues from Norway. They will bring to the workshop their recent research experiences studying the introduction of homecare/remote patient monitoring, building infrastructures for personalized medicine, and several large, architecture-focused projects.
The workshop will also be the occasion to launch the publication of the book to which we have contributed:
