Information regarding the “Digital Health 2016 – Early Diagnosis & Prevention – Professional & Scientific Summer School”, June 22-24 2016 in Geneva, Switzerland, is now on the website: www.hesge.ch/heds/summer-school-digital-health-2016.
A descriptive text, flyer and registration/ payment methods form can be found in the website.
Each day a specific subject will be addressed, consisting of morning lectures and afternoon practical workshops and lab visits:
1. Electronic sensors for health monitoring,
2. Medical imaging and image processing,
3. Processing of big data in health.
The theoretical morning sessions will introduce diverse applications of digital health devices for science and healthcare, but also provide critical views on the risks and other caveats of these innovative approaches. Apart from theoretical and practical aspects of data collection and processing, and their use in the context of early diagnosis and prevention, ethical aspects of digital health will be considered.
Hands-on workshops using established software for data processing, as well as collecting data and laboratory visits are scheduled during the afternoons.
A social program, important to reinforce national and international networking, is foreseen for the evenings.
