ECHAlliance Workshop@ CHC 2018, Boston - USA Humanize Digital Health: towards the Digital Health Society 17 19 October 2018 This year again, ECHAlliance is partnering with Personal Connected Health Alliance for the Connected Health Conference 2018 (CHC18), which will be held on 17-19 October, at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston (MA, USA). During the CHC18, the ECHAlliance organizes a 1-day workshop on Wednesday 17th October (same venue). The focus of this workshop is to create relationships, debates and cooperation between stakeholders coming from Europe with USA and Canada. The event is designed for all stakeholders (policy-makers, large companies, start-ups, healthcare professionals, researchers, citizens and patients groups, insurers, investors, etc.) to: Facilitate direct debates and discussions Share ideas and building a common vision of the future of health Showcase disruptive innovations Generate projects, business deals and investment opportunities 2018 main focus is about the balance between the Technology and the Human element. In an era when digital technologies enable individuals to track health statistics such as daily activity and vital signs, and new applications of artificial intelligence, social robots and vocal biomarkers are creating new opportunities for health, we are now facing the next great challenge: integrating these technologies in healthcare delivery, wellness and daily living. The societies across the globe are mostly eager to see happening the digitization of the health and care systems such as other services and sectors, but, at the same time, technologies need to serve the human and don t compromise important values of health such as privacy or security.
