TECHCONNECT
STAKEHOLDER CONFERENCE

What to expect

The TechConnect Consortium is inviting fellow researchers, practitioners, hospital and healthcare partners and policy makers to join them in Utrecht as the team celebrates its midpoint on the journey.

The TechConnect team seeks to share the initial findings from their ambitious research that has observed over 9 months, the use of advanced digital technologies across 12 case studies in 4 hospital sites. It looks to explore the consequences for the future of work, the better development of advanced digital technologies and the practical steps that organisations can take to ensure a better alignment with humans and the systems.

We will invite similar initiatives to present and contrast their experiences and provide a forum for exploring how the absorptive capacity of teams for an ever-complex relationship with technologies can drive better outcomes for all. We also invite attendees to see first-hand how technologies are transforming healthcare and healthcare workers.

Who should attend

Researchers and academics working on digitalisation, work, and healthcare

Healthcare organisations, hospital managers, and practitioners

Policy makers and representatives from public institutions

Industry and technology providers active in healthcare and digital innovation

EU-funded projects and initiatives working on related themes
