Pre-Conferences:

  • Health 2.0 Tools for the Elderly: How do we understand the needs of elderly patients? What role does design play in relation to technology? Should we incentivize entrepreneurs to develop for the elderly? Elderly care is gaining momentum all over the world, so join us for this pre-conference workshop moderated by Health 2.0 London Chapter Leader Maneesh Juneja, which will feature a unique mix of patient insights, demos from startups and industry experts.
