SUMMARY:HYBRID EVENT: Digital Technologies for Positive Mental Health and Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:       \nTo mark the launch of the collaborative project between Medilink Midlands and the ARISE Innovation Hub\, part of Anglia Ruskin University\, we will be hosting an exciting hybrid event on Thursday 27th October. The event will be held at Harlow Innovation Park\, located in Essex\, within the established London-Stansted-Cambridge corridor. \nFor the first in our series of events held in collaboration with ARISE\, we’re taking the MedTech and Systems Special Interest Group (SIG) on the road. Born out of our longstanding partnership with Nottingham Trent University (NTU)\, this special interest group has met several times a year since it was first established in 2016\, and is a great example of how networks of this kind can strengthen connections between academia\, clinicians and industry. \nThis next event in the series explores how digital technologies are providing innovative solutions that are positively impacting mental health care and wellbeing more widely. We’ll hear talks from specialists working across this swiftly developing field\, covering topics ranging from AI and machine learning\, through to app-based interventions and interactive physical devices. \nThe event will be introduced by Professor Yvonne Barnett\, Deputy Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation at Anglia Ruskin University and Medilink Midlands Board Member. Our presentations will be chaired by Professor Phil Breedon\, Professor of Smart Technologies at NTU and leader of the MedTech and Systems Special Interest Group since its launch. \nWe will hear presentations on the day from: \n\nProfessor Graham Ball\, Executive Director of the Medical Technologies Centre\, Anglia Ruskin University & Founder-CSO of Intelligent Omics\nDr Joseph C. Manning\, MBE\, Clinical Associate Professor for the NIHR and HEE based at the University of Nottingham\nDr Sarah Wright\, Global Account Director for Blueskeye\,\nDr Will Farr\, Chief Investigator within the NHS\, Tangiball\nEmilios Lemoniatis\, Director\, Frontline Buddy & Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist – Digital Ethics/Innovation\, Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust\n\nOffered as a hybrid event\, we’d be delighted to welcome you in person on the day.

This helps people develop themselves and consider the materials they are working with to develop new insights and concepts.  Having been on the NHS England Clinical Entrepreneur programme since 2019 both as a entrepreneur and as a mentor to start-ups in mental health\, I am a go-to person to guide new developments in mental health as well as understanding and living the entrepreneurial spirit of the work involved.  This has also helped me further develop my network that I have been developing nationally and internationally of people\, products and companies in this field for over 15 years.” \n
