SUMMARY:Coupling Compliance with User Experience (UX)
DESCRIPTION:Coupling Compliance with User Experience (UX) \nRapid growth in the mHealth and activity tracker market\, advances in wearable tech and increased use of mobile devices at home\, work and play have brought about new approaches to application design. In the life sciences and eHealth sector\, this offers new challenges for data integrity and compliance but also new opportunities for application developers who have traditionally dealt with interfaces\, informatics and data visualisation in an entirely enterprise or desktop interface setting\, who may not have had to focus on User Experience in an increasingly competitive application landscape. \nThis event is hosted by Sigma\, a leading user research and design company focused on improving the digital user experience for all. It will cover new ideas for application design in the life sciences and eHealth field\, looking at UI design\, mobility\, regulatory challenges and user experience across the corporate and public arena. The talks are aimed at product managers\, digital innovators\, developers\, investors\, start-ups and IT leaders who need to rethink their application design approach for this new way of living and working. It will be friendly\, interactive and you’ll have the chance to ask questions and network with fellow attendees and speakers. \nRegistration at 5pm\, talks 5.30-7.30pm\, with networking and refreshments. \nSpeakers include: \n\nWarren Fauvel\, Co-founder of Nudjed\nSimon Wegerif\, Director at HRV Fit and Chris Bush\, Head of UX at Sigma\nMark Stevens\, Operations Director at Formpipe GxP\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Dementia and Technology: Understanding and Meeting the Unmet Need
DESCRIPTION:Dementia and Technology: Understanding and Meeting the Unmet Need \nThis latest event from MindTech (NIHR MindTech Healthcare Technology Co-operative) in association with Medilink East Midlands and Next Business Generation is aimed at linking up local companies and other interested parties with health and wellness unmet needs\, focussing on dementia. \nDelegates will connect with the NHS and the wider healthcare community including third sector and informal carer organisations\, and with academics from the Institute of Mental Health (The University of Nottingham & Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust) and the new Centre for Dementia\, to exchange knowledge and spark off ideas and explore possible technology-related solutions\, whether this is for dementia care in the community or in a care home setting. \nThe format of the event will be short presentations and an interactive workshop to encourage discussion and provide opportunities for networking during the morning and over lunch\, to find out more please click on the PDF link below to view the programme. \nThe term ‘dementia’ is used to describe a syndrome which may be caused by a number of illnesses in which there is progressive decline in multiple areas of function. It is one of the most important issues we face as the population ages. \nThere are estimated to be over 750\,000 people in the UK with dementia and numbers are expected to double in the next thirty years and direct costs of dementia to the NHS and Social Care are in the region of £8.2bn annually. Although dementia is primarily a condition associated with older people\, there are also a significant number of people (currently around 15\,000) who develop dementia earlier in life. A key quality outcome identified through consultation with people with dementia and carers\, and included in the development of the National Dementia Strategy is\, ‘I can enjoy life’ such that ‘People living with dementia will be well supported in all aspects of living with dementia\, leaving them confident to lead as full and active life as possible. They will be able to pursue the activities (including work) that allow them to be happy and feel fulfilled while living with dementia.’ (Quality outcomes for people with dementia: building on the work of the National Dementia Strategy – DH\, 2010). \nThe event is free to attend\, to book your place\, please click here and complete the online booking form.

SUMMARY:Hackable Medical Devices: Fact or Fiction?
DESCRIPTION:Hackable Medical Devices: Fact or Fiction? \nOrganised in collaboration with Techealth and Software Alliance Wales  \nIt’s the kind of topic which belongs in an American political thriller\, but medical devices have entered the zeitgeist as a new security target\, and malicious interference with devices – such as pacemakers and infusion pumps – is a real threat\, and one which is gaining a significant amount of global attention of late. \nThe US Department of Homeland Security are taking the threat very seriously\, stating that injury or death as a result from hacking is within the realms of possibility. \nIn theory it is possible to remotely influence an infusion pump’s dispense rate – transforming a reservoir of insulin into a potential lethal weapon. And so what about implantable medical devices that use wireless communication\, such as pacemakers – could these be maliciously hacked to threaten patients’ lives? \n  \nSpeaker’s Biography: \nKevin Fu is Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan where he directs the Archimedes Research Center for Medical Device Security and the Security and Privacy Research (SPQR) group. His research investigates how to achieve trustworthy computing on embedded devices with application to health care\, commerce\, and communication. His participation in the provocative 2008 research paper analyzing the security of a pacemaker/defibrillator led to a watershed moment in cybersecurity for medical device manufacturing and regulatory science. \nProf. Fu received his Ph.D. in EECS from MIT where his doctoral research pertained to secure storage and web authentication. He received a Sloan Research Fellowship\, NSF CAREER award\, Fed100 Award\, and best paper awards from various academic silos of computing. The research is featured in critical articles by the NYT\, WSJ\, and NPR. Kevin was named MIT Technology Review TR35 Innovator of the Year for work on medical device security. He has testified in Congress on health matters and has written commissioned work for the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies. He served as a visiting scientist at the Food & Drug Administration\, the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center of Harvard Medical School\, Microsoft Research\, and MIT CSAIL. Previous employers include Bellcore\, Cisco Systems\, HP Labs\, and Holland Community Hospital. Kevin is a member of the ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy and the NIST Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board. He is a principal investigator of THaW.org. Prior to joining Michigan\, he served on the faculty at UMass Amherst. Kevin also holds a certificate of achievement in artisanal bread making from the French Culinary Institute. \n \nRegistration: \nThis continues a series of Distinguished Lectures in Computer Science at Swansea University. Refreshments available in the foyer from 3.30pm. The event is free of charge and open to all\, and followed by a reception. Registration to attend is required: www.softwarealliancewales.com/cyber-security \nFor further information\, contact Professor Peter Mosses\, coordinator of the Swansea University Distinguished Lectures in Computer Science (P.D.Mosses@swansea.ac.uk). Details of all the lectures in this series are available online at www.swansea.ac.uk/compsci/distinguishedlectures
