He has been involved in a wide range of large-scale\, multi-centre studies of complex interventions and evaluations of policy and service initiatives. David is Director of the eHealth Industries Innovation (ehi2) Centre\, developing links between academia\, the NHS\, and business within the UK and internationally. He is also University Director of Health Informatics Research Laboratories\, created through a collaboration between the College of Medicine\, Swansea University and NHS Wales Informatics Service\, the national programme for NHS IT for Wales. The Labs provide state-of-the-art facilities to design\, prototype\, test and evaluate innovative new information technologies for use in improving health and healthcare. David is also joint lead of the Health Information Research Unit for Wales (HIRU)\, which develops new ways of harnessing the potential of routinely collected information collected in health and other settings. David is a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of the Arts\, Manufactures and Commerce (FRSA) and past Chairman and a current Director of MediWales\, a membership organisation representing the medical technology sector of Wales. David is a member of numerous committees and national bodies relating to health informatics and health-related research. He has received research grants and consultancy contracts valuing over £20m over recent years. \nSabarna Mukhopadhyay – CAL2CAL\nCAL2CAL addresses the immediate needs of improved clinical efficiency and preventative care with bespoke solutions involving integration of existing systems in the NHS and use of mobile technology to allow information access at the point of care. The solutions are currently focussed on the care and monitoring of the elderly and the chronic disease management. The concept of single input and multiple use of the confidential clinical data is possible using standard based secured data exchange framework. The presentation will intend to highlight a couple of general issues highlighted in the NHS nationally and demonstrate the user friendly solutions that could be implemented phase wise. The advantages and benefits of the modular system would be the crucial point of discussion. \nJohn Griffiths – MOCAD\nJohn Griffiths developer of MOCAD (Mobile Care and early intervention and Diagnostics)\, which is an Android/Cloud based integrated system that addresses the problems of Accountability\, Lone Worker\, Mileage and Efficiency within the Social Care community. Its objectives are to rationalize and make transparent the efficiencies mobile working can make in this somewhat unstructured and some say poorly funded area addressing assisted living and demonstrate its true worth to patient wellbeing and early / timely diagnosis by the NHS. \nFor more information on this event or the work of CEMAS please visit www.cemas.mobi URL:https://mediwales.com/event/cemas-seminar/ CATEGORIES:External END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20120222T020000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20120222T020000 DTSTAMP:20260405T220618 CREATED:20120222T020200Z LAST-MODIFIED:20120222T020200Z UID:5127-1329876000-1329876000@mediwales.com SUMMARY:CHIRAL Seminar\, 22 Feb DESCRIPTION:Professor Gareth Williams \nCardiff Institute of Society and Health \n‘Intense delineations of territory\, health\, well-being and connecting communities’ \nSynopsis: The resilience of communities has never been a hotter topic\, given the current backdrop of financial dire straits in Britain.

This workshop brings together leading clinicians and sensor technology developers. It builds on the significant interest in the sensing community in addressing healthcare applications. It also draws upon the efforts and strategic objectives of the HealthTech & Medicines KTN’s mapping of unmet clinical needs\, involving clinicians in research and collaborative R&D with the healthcare and medicine industry. \nThe workshop will discuss and review the current critical clinical needs in four different areas of clinical specialities and will provide the opportunity to discuss directly with the leading clinicians any ideas for potential sensing solutions. The clinical specialities which will be covered during this event are; \n\nOrthopaedics & Trauma\nEmergency Medicine\nPaediatrics\nUrology\n\nThe main aims of this event are as follows; \n\nFacilitate new clinician/industry collaborations in a number of areas of clinical specialities.\nIdentify barriers to innovation and commercialisation\nReview current funding opportunities and identify funding gaps\nProvide networking opportunities to identify partners\nReview supporting mechanisms available to accelerate innovation and commercialisation through KTNs\nReview current pre-clinical and clinical trials and identify best practice to accelerate regulatory approvals\n\nWho should attend?\nThis workshop is primarily about exploring a range of clinical needs where sensing technology has the potential to provide a solution for the benefits of the patients and healthcare providers. It will therefore be primarily of interest to: \n\nCompanies seeking to exploit their sensing technologies in new medical areas\nCompanies seeking to identify leading clinicians to establish long term collaborations\nCompanies and academics with sensing technologies that they consider may have healthcare applications\nLarge medical device and diagnostics companies interested in directly sponsoring innovative ideas and working with clinicians/academics and SME’s to establish new collaborations\nClinicians active in the identified areas wishing to discuss potential solutions and explore new collaboration opportunities\nClinicians from other areas who are interested in transferable technologies of relevance to their own needs\nAcademics involved in developing new technologies for sensors and new sensor applications\nFunding organisations seeking to identify strategic priority areas for future funding calls\n\n\nRegistration \nDue to the anticipated popularity of this workshop and the limited number of places we request potential participants to contact us directly in order to register their interest in attending. To do this please send an e-mail to Robert Angus at robert.angus@espktn.org stating the expertise/ technology you will bring to the debate. \nIn your e-mail please also indicate which of the clinical areas addressed by the workshop (Orthopaedics & Trauma\, Emergency Medicine\, Paediatrics\, Urology) interests you the most.
