InnoHealth Satellite Event #4: Chronic Patients in the Digital Age

The management of chronic disease is perhaps the main challenge for health professionals worldwide, who are called upon to deal with various problems of the individual on an organic, psychological and social level. The chronically ill are an important social group that faces significant challenges every day.

To what extent, in what way, and with what services and products can technological developments in health contribute to improving the quality of life of this social group? Do existing technological proposals and health innovations adequately meet the needs of the chronically ill and their carers?

Given the developments in the research, medical and technological fields, InnoHealth Satellite Event #4 aims to present important aspects in relation to the management and follow-up of chronic diseases. In combination, current developments in technology and applications of artificial intelligence will be presented, which can make a decisive contribution to improving the daily life and quality of life of patients with chronic diseases.

The event is addressed to:

• Academic and research community
• Health sciences students
• Public hospitals
• Private health facilities
• Health bodies (patients’ associations, medical community associations, NGOs)
• Health professionals and businesses
• Doctors and pharmacists
• Startupers
• Patients and families of patients with chronic diseases
