Friday 26 June 08:30 - 10:30
In addressing the high economic burden of the healthcare sector, prevention, early diagnosis and informed therapeutics are indispensable. Tests must be highly accurate and well integrated into medical management to avoid unnecessary treatment and stress to users. This seminar will focus on latest research in intelligent technologies for cancer diagnostics, future needs and discuss a roadmap on “how to get there”.
The seminar theme is “What are the future needs in point-of-care cancer diagnostics and how can new techniques/methodologies add value to the patient/doctor/nurse/health service?” It will elaborate on these needs and challenges by presenting state-of-art advances and projected future possibilities and needs.
The seminar session is organised by the SmarthHealth consortium in collaboration with Oslo Cancer Cluster.
