Clinical Case Study

This submission requires a 400 word abstract.

We want to know what you’re doing, what works and why; and if it’s not, why not. The aim of the clinical case studies is to provide practical insights into the clinical application of the latest thinking, innovations and emerging initiatives. The review committee is primarily made up of reviewers with clinical qualifications and experience.

Digital Health Idea

This submission requires a 400 word abstract.

We want to hear about practical digital health ideas and change projects. Your idea/project should solve a problem/challenge in the health care system through the use of technology and/or information. Ideally, your idea/project should have been partly or fully implemented. If your idea/project is still in the planning phases you may still submit it; however be sure you have validated it with research and evidence and can clearly articulate the practical aspects or learning the audience would get. The review committee includes a mix of reviewers from across healthcare, IT and business.
