People living with long-term neurological conditions (e.g. MND, MS, Parkinson’s Disease) are reported to have the lowest health-related quality of life of any long-term condition, with the numbers of people affected continuing to rise.
As society and healthcare systems respond and adapt to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, this webinar is an opportunity for businesses to:
• understand the key challenges affecting patients & the health and care system,
• learn about the market for technology solutions within new models of care & self-management, &
• connect with collaborative networks to catalyse & advance product innovation.
Our speakers from NIHR Devices for Dignity will give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have during the webinar.
This webinar is open to Life Science businesses who are seeking to learn about the opportunities in medtech innovation and wish to ask questions directly to the experts.
