The Digital Health & Wellness Summit will be back in Barcelona as part of 4YFN & MWC, 29 June 2021.

The summit is divided into four tracks, each one dedicated to a topic related to health. The “Digital & Brain” session, which is included in track 3 – Tech4care, will start at 14:45 h and the Cluster President will be participating as one of the speakers.

The digital transformation of healthcare is having a major impact on all domains. The fields of neurosciences and neurology are by no means a stranger to the digital revolution. Whether we are talking about neurodegenerative diseases or mental health conditions, one of the most complex organs we have, our brain, can benefit from digital technologies to improve our health and our quality of life. On the mental health side, multiple recent publications showed a clear increase in psychological and psychiatric care consumption, and experts predict the “mental health wave” after the pandemic. Would digital play a role in this new challenge? This session will be the opportunity to present innovations and use-cases as well as discussing the upcoming development.

Francesc Xavier Arrufat, Psychiatrist and Director at the Hospital Universitari Institut Pere Mata will join Ana Maiques, CEO at Neuroelectrics at this round table.

Topics of each track:

  • Track 1: COVID19 DISRUPTED HEALTHCARE
  • Track 2: FREE THE DATA!
  • Track 3: TECH4CARE
  • Track 4: INNOVATION IN DIGITAL HEALTH: FROM IDEA TO MARKET TO CITIZEN
