Track 6. Impact of state-of-the-art technologies on medical training processes and clinical practice

Presentation

The aim of this track is to collect some of the most innovative technological developments applied to both the contexts of medical training and clinical practice, as well as in other fields related to Health Sciences; providing an excellent opportunity for the promotion and exchange of innovative experiences in the health field, especially those based on the use of state-of-the-art technology.

The introduction of new medical technology in prevention, diagnosis and patient recovery has a direct impact on health outcome indicators, as well as on the increase in life expectancy and quality of life, and the safety of healthcare processes. In addition, the use of state-of-the-art technologies in medical education has proven to be greatly effective, as it allows to create realistic learning environments to experience with procedures and devices that will become common in medical practice and thus increasing future patients’ safety.

In this sense, although recent advances in technologies have spurred the health and care provision field, expanding the possibilities of providing better and more reliable technological solutions for patients, many of the current developments still have not evolved from an end user-centric perspective. For that reason, it is important to have a comprehensive vision of the health and care assistance ecosystem as a whole (encompassing many different areas of research), in order to obtain an overview of the needs of the rest of the ecosystem actors involved (patients, doctors, authorities, researchers technological providers, etc.) and identify the strengths and weaknesses of the research presented to date, which in turn will point out the possible future research directions along with their potential applications, stakeholders and market.

Track Instructions and Program (Thursday 28th, VIRTUAL, 9.00-11.00 // 11.30 – 13.30,

Support place C: ICE office, floor  3)

The track 6 session will be entirely virtual.

Prior to this date, a virtual space (Blackboard or similar) will be set up for paper presentations.

For those authors who wish to make a live presentation, they should prepare a presentation of 5 to 10 minutes, leaving 5 minutes for questions from the audience.

Authors who are not able to give a live presentation have the possibility to prepare a video of their presentation (5-10 minutes) which will be played during the track.

It is recommended that the video is in mp4 format and that it is no larger than 100Mb. Authors who opt for this second option must send the video before October 21st to the following address: samuelmp@usal.es

The order of the track will be:

9.00-11.00:

11.30-13.30:
