Join us at the first ever School of Convergence Science Town Hall hosted by our Health and Technology (H&T) theme.
As part of the Science for Humanity Strategy – the H&T theme is working to create a fairer, more resilient future for everyone and is focusing on three key problems:
• Health inequity, driven by social, economic, and environmental factors
• Spiralling global health costs
• Sudden shocks, such as pandemics, conflict and climate disasters, and health system resilience.
Hear from Imperial’s world-leading interdisciplinary Co-Directors (Professor Anthony Bull, Professor Marisa Miraldo, Professor Faith Osier and Professor Iain McNeish) as they present the missions and activities to date and seek involvement from Imperial’s academic community. Their vision of sensing, empowering and shaping health aims to achieve healthcare that is continuously sensed, continuously adaptive and radically personalised by 2050.
