About the event

Technology is bringing transformational improvements to the provision of health and care in today’s society. Imperial alumni and academics are innovating solutions to address some of the most pressing healthcare challenges of our time.

Join us as we bring together alumni experts working in healthtech for a discussion around the future of digital technologies in healthcare.

Our esteemed panel of Imperial alumni will share insights they have gained through their own work in healthtech, and explore the potential of digital solutions in addressing the key concerns of patients and healthcare professionals.

How can we utilise digital technology to confront the main challenges in healthcare? What can we achieve through harnessing the power of data and what do we make of the digital divide? How is the sector changing with the adoption of digital and what will the future require of anyone working in it?

Tune in to hear an insightful conversation around these and more pressing topics – and ask your own questions of the panel during the Q&A.
