Most digital health events may have one speaker on the podium who has innovated to solve a problem they have been personally affected by – either as a patient or family member. Our event not only showcases digital innovations which solve real world problems, it brings people together to learn how we can realise the enormous value of people and community driven digital health and wellbeing innovation.
The event is for aspiring and seasoned digital entrepreneurs who want to meet like minded people from across the UK (and beyond) to network, share learning and collaborate; for people accessing health and social care services who want to get digital on the agenda; for providers, commissioners, policy makers, industry and investors who want to understand how people-driven digital health can support the future transformation of health and care services.
Our event is supported by the lovely people at NHS Citizen which is part of NHS England and has involvement at its heart. We are also grateful for support from a whole range of people and organisations who we’ll name-check in our full event information.
People-driven Digital Health & Wellbeing begins on 13 May at the Open Data Institute in Leeds with early evening drinks and networking followed by a health/housing/social care curry hosted by the fabulous Shirley Ayres and Paul Taylor at the Aagrah restaurant.
The following day features lightning talks, open space conversations and a challenge: how can we unleash people-led digital innovation in health and wellbeing? The answer to this question will take the shape of a White Paper with a series of recommendations for future action.
We’ll be launching an initiative to stimulate and support people-led digital innovation at the event – watch this space!
The evening and day events are both free and we would like all our attendees to bring a gift to share on the day – it may be something you’ve baked or your latest annual report – something small that others will value and appreciate.
This event is being organised by the mHealthHabitat team in partnership with some amazing digital entrepreneurs – Mark Brown from Social Spider, Michael Seres founder of 11Health, Kat Cormack from Buddy App, and Anne Coops – nurse, NHS leader and Type 1 Diabetes blogger.
You can find an outline of the day here and you can book online here. If you’d like to support the event and/or get involved do get in touch with Victoria at victoria.betton@nhs.net Image may be NSFW.
