As part of the parent programme being run by the Medical Sciences Division, funded by the MRC Proximity to Discovery award to the University of Oxford, TheHill team are delighted to announce that we will be running a five-month long “Digital Health Experts in Residence” programme, with five fantastic industry experts ‘in residence’ for one day per month, with a half-day of 1-on-1 sessions, followed by a public evening seminar, each on the final Thursday of the month from April through to August.

This programme gives the community access to world-leading expertise and advice. Clinicians, engineers, entrepreneurs, researchers, students and others can arrange meetings with our experts to discuss their ideas and projects with no strings attached. We expect that this advice and support will help scientists develop the translational strategy for their projects/technologies. We will also be running evening seminars on these evenings, on topics to raise the level of awareness and understanding of realities of technological development and commercialisation.

Digital health experts will be at the John Radcliffe Hospital on Thursday 22 June to give world-leading expertise on digital health ideas or projects you may be working on.

The following experts will be at the John Radcliffe Hospital for one-to-one sessions from 14:00 to 17:00.
