The key focus of the webinar will be to analyse how EU policymakers are currently looking at dementia and frailty considering all different levels of prevention.
Aside from security, privacy and evidence, public authorities are often in an uncomfortable situation when dealing with digital technologies. Unlike medicines, digital products can indeed quickly become obsolete while the costing and reimbursement mechanisms to be implemented are still largely ad hoc.
Attend the webinar to:
-
Learn about most ambitious public health approaches related to dementia and frailty
-
Understand how digital technologies are currently perceived by policy-makers.
-
Learn what are the business policy models which have been successful and how digital intervention tools innovators can play a key role in advancing research.
