Abstract

Exciting new innovations in healthcare technology such advanced image analysis, Tele-Health, Micro Robotics, etc., are changing the landscape of healthcare.  ese advances are enabling us to deliver high-quality care to a wider population. New technology o en brings improved productivity and e ciency savings. New developments in Healthcare-IT are leading the way in developing new care pathways such as image and model guided therapies. Teleconferencing and specialist opinion for complex cases, Computer Aided Detection/Diagnosis (CAD), automated image analysis are helping professionals to deal with increasing workload. As a result, we are bene ting from both the technical e cacy and improved diagnostic accuracy.  ese innovations have additional bene ts in medical education, training, assessment and quality assurance. We will discuss the bene ts of the latest developments to patients, radiologists, clinicians along with potential savings for hospital management. At the same time, there is a fear that digital health tools may lead to burning out of physicians and impede care. Studies have shown that the majority of self-proclaimed health apps in the market aren’t tested on patients and more worryingly, rouge organizations make false or exaggerated claims. Some of the melanoma detection apps were  ned recently by the FTC for claiming to diagnose skin cancer. In addition to these subjects, this presentation will highlight several practical examples of medical innovations through the stages of concept, design, pilot and successful implementation. Furthermore, there will be practical information for healthcare sector’s entrepreneurs, who wish to develop pioneering products for the future.
