Engineering Healthcare Technologies for Broadening the Participation of Patients and Carers

Workshop held in conjunction with EICS 2017 on June 26th in Lisbon, Portugal

Program

The workshop lasts a full day and is organised as follows.

The morning will be focused on the submitted position papers. Each presenter will have between 5 and 10 minutes for presenting their poster, plus 1 to 3 minutes for answering questions. Following all presentations, we will map the proposed technologies, as well as common issues and challenges to participation.

During the afternoon, we will work on two case studies. These two sessions will follow a similar structure. After a 15-minute introduction by the invited experts from the ministry of health, researchers will break into two groups for discussion. In the end of the sessions, there will be a common exercise of mapping the ideas, issues, and common challenges.
