Early last year, Intel’s Digital Health Group became part of an international collaboration effort aimed at delivering leadership for the development of Connected Health markets across Europe. This activity is known as the European Connected Health Campus (ECHCampus) is headquartered in Belfast, N. Ireland.
The European Connected Health Campus has four primary functions:
- Promotion of Connected Health - to provide leadership, education and focus supporting European and global implementation of connected health technologies.
- Development of Connected Health Capabilities - to secure and engage in collaborative research and development and a range of field implementation projects utilising shared workspace and support facilities.
- Participant Support - to support the strategic and tactical marketing and business development needs of ECHCampus members.
- Education - ECHCampus will develop and provide educational opportunities in support of broad scale deployments of remote monitoring technologies. This will include the development and documentation of best practices across procurement, implementation and standardization.
Over the last year, the Campus membership has grown to include four Foundation Members, and in excess of twenty-five SME and Alliance Partners.
Following on from the success of last year’s Leadership Summit, the second gathering will take place this coming June 15-16 in Belfast, with speakers from the healthcare and technology industry and from academic research groups from across Europe and beyond.
Intel’s participation will include Niamh Scannell, Intel’s European Director of Product Research and Innovation and Industry Director at the TRIL Centre, will participate in a session on Healthcare Technology Do’s and Don’ts on the second day of the summit. Additionally, Rick Cnossen, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Continua Health Alliance and Director, Personal Health Enabling at Intel, will moderate a session that will deliver updates on North American connected health activity.
This summit is sure to provide a compelling and thought-provoking few days and for further details check out the full agenda at the ECHCampus website.
