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

SUMMARY:Launch of 'Think about Me': Good Care Guide
DESCRIPTION:Launch of ‘Think about Me’: Good Care Guide \n“Think About Me”: Good Care Guide is a local web based feedback system where residents and relatives can rate and review care homes. \nThis development has been driven by relatives of older people already living in care homes. They believe that at a time when people have to make a difficult decision about choosing a care home\, they should be able to see ‘real time’ feedback from people living there (or their relatives) to help them make a choice. It’s hoped that by sharing views about care providers – from the quality of care and staff to the facilities\, surroundings and of course value for money – it will help people find and choose the right care for their family. \n“Think About Me”: Good Care Guide invites residents and relatives to share their experiences with other families looking for local care homes to help them make a much more informed decision. \nWe are launching this exciting initiative on the 9th of March 2015.  Why not come along to hear more about it and see how it works? \nClick here to register \nMore about the event: \nThere is a specific need for feedback from residents and family of those living in care\, residential or nursing homes. Currently when older people need to make a very difficult decision there is an absence of ‘real time’ information about care homes. Working with the Good Care Guide we are launching a pilot of “Think About Me” which will allow people to find\, rate and review elderlycare in Gwent. \nAbout South East Wales Academic Health Science Partnership: \nThe South East Wales Academic Health Science Partnership (SEWAHSP) is an alliance with a mission to cooperate and collaborate strategically and operationally\, to integrate high quality research and education and enhance the Region’s outputs in developing and applying improvements\, innovations and health technologies to benefit the health and wealth of the population of Wales.

SUMMARY:ABHI: eProcurement Conference
DESCRIPTION:The NHS eProcurement Strategy\, published in May 2014\, aims to transform how the NHS improves patient care through a modern\, effective and efficient NHS procurement function. \nDemand for NHS services is growing\, but NHS funding is not keeping pace. NHS trusts are being challenged to operate more efficiently. A step in doing so is to improve NHS procurement\, particularly to undertake NHS purchase-to-pay transactions and all category management activities by electronic means. \nThe benefits of doing so include provision of higher quality data for information sharing\, time saving automated transactions\, reduced costs and enhanced services between customer and supplier. Achieving these benefits will mean changing the way the NHS works with its suppliers\, moving to a standard coding (GS1) to identify products\, a common electronic language for exchanging information\, and greater technical infrastructure. \nThis Conference is an opportunity for all suppliers to the NHS to understand how the NHS eProcurement Strategy will impact their business. \nThe objective is to provide information on the: \n\nSuppliers Guidelines to be published by DH\nLatest updates in the strategy’s implementation plan\nNecessary steps to enable compliance\nActions local trusts are taking\n\nKey Speakers will present the objectives of the strategy and the route forward towards implementation. Discussions will cover the challenges to be overcome and examples of how industry can move in the right direction. The programme will include speakers from: \n\nDepartment of Health\nNHS Trusts\nGS1 UK\nSolutions providers\n\nWho should attend \nManagers responsible for the implementation of the eProcurement strategy including \n\nSupply chain Managers\nCustomer Service Managers\neProcurement Specialists\nContract Managers\nPurchase to Pay Managers\nCategory Managers\n\nClick here for the programme \nFor more information about this conference or other events please contact: \nJane Sessenwein\, Manager\, International & Events\n+44 (0)20 7960 4380\njane.sessenwein@abhi.org.uk   \nLiz Hatter\, Manager\, International & Events\n+44 (0)20 7960 4368\nliz.hatter@abhi.org.uk

SUMMARY:The 2015 Innovative Surgical Robotics Forum
DESCRIPTION:This event is for any healthcare professional\, academic or company interested in discussing the challenges\, current barriers and ways to move forward in the arena of surgical robots. \nRegister here \nThe global market for medical robotics and computer-assisted surgical (MRCAS) equipment was worth nearly $2.7 billion in 2013. The market is projected to approach $3.3 billion in 2014 and $4.6 billion by 2019 for a CAGR of 7% for the five-year period\, 2014 to 2019. Surgical robots dominate the global MRCAS market\, accounting for more than 70%. \nRobotic devices are extremely complex systems will require considerable amounts of R&D. Government support will therefore be crucial in these next 5 years. \nThe 2015 Innovative Surgical Robotics Forum is a event jointly organised by the Robotics and Autonomous Systems SIG and the EU. Four EU FP7 projects (STIFF-FLOP\, μRalp\, CASCADE\, and ReMeDi) leading the field of surgical robotics will exhibit their latest achievements. During this event\, the aim is to identify market opportunities and the gaps between clinical\, academic and industrial communities to establish a multidisciplinary community focused on the subject. We will facilitate the exploitation of robotics R&D by bringing together the different stakeholders and create the opportunity to form new partnerships and collaborative relationships. \nSpeakers: \n\nProf. Sir Alfred Cuschieri\, University of Dundee\, UK\nProf. Darwin Caldwell\, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia\, Italy\nProf. Prokar Dasgupta\, King‘s College London\, UK\nProf. Yoav Mintz\, Hadassah Hebrew University Medical Center\, Israel\nProf. Giorgio Peretti\, University of Genoa\, Italy\nDr Patrick Finlay\, MediMaton Ltd\, UK\nDr Paula Gomes\, BSI Group\, UK\nDr Alexandre Mottrie\, OLV Hospital in Aalst\, Belgium\nDr Ferdinando Rodrigues y Baena\, Imperial College London\, UK\nRich Walker\, Shadow Robot Company Ltd\, UK\n\nView full event details here
