Topic: Homecare IT Infrastructure, Standards and Policy – From Treating Noncommunicable Diseases to Alerting and Preventing Communicable Diseases

Abstract: Thanks to advances in science and technology, life expectancy has increased and in the developed world, expenses related to the elderly (non-communicable diseases / chronic conditions) are mounting daily.  The growth in population density, particularly in developing nations, will rise the potential for transmission of communicable (infectious) diseases throughout the world.   Advances in computing, information and communications technology provide a unique opportunity to utilize mechanisms that may lower the cost of healthcare through prevention while improving the quality of life. Cybercare and homecare through fast access Internet offers such possibilities.  The potential creation of a digital divide between rich and poor exists if the right policies are not considered.  Other new “digital” challenges such as access to medical information, privacy and security of our information, the interdependence of all of the world’s Critical Infrastructures and Policy are a new paradigm.

Topic: Opportunities for Applying Life Sciences Technologies to Benefit Underserved Populations

Abstract: Some of the world’s deadliest but manageable or curable diseases (HIV/TB, Cervical cancer, Malaria, etc.) afflict under-resourced populations of the world. This talk will discuss the potential of interdisciplinary life science technologies, including artificial intelligence in medicine and other automation, in addressing global health challenges.
