Architecture for pathology in the PCEHR

This event will offer you the opportunity to: 

• Examine how the convergence in health care, biology, informatics and technology are associated social changes
• Examine how the digitisation of biology and health may allow machines to help, lead to a demystification of disease, the democratisation of healthcare, and a move from the treatment of disease to the promotion and maintenance of wellness
• Learn how personalisation is occurring both because of social change and increased biological knowledge and is being facilitated by cheap mobile computing, sensors and devices
