THE OPPORTUNITY
The healthcare and wellbeing sector is being challenged by an ageing population and those living with long term health conditions. Self-management techniques and new models for social support are required to help individuals and communities live their lives in the best possible way. At the same time, the leveraging of big data technology in the context of healthcare and the growth of quantifiable-self wearable technologies affirm that public, private, and third sector organisations, markets, and society as a whole have a responsibility to promote active healthy living. The Wellbeing Chiasma, in partnership with Northumbria University, will explore ideas around this challenge, seeking to develop new and innovative approaches that could be applied in contexts such as health education and promotion, primary care delivery, and the commissioning of public health services. The impact of improving personal health and wellbeing provides a business opportunity.
This residential event of two and a half days will focus on the changing environment of healthcare and its delivery, exploring how best to reconcile people’s needs with a viable business opportunity. The Chiasma is open to participants including: health and care practitioners, businesses and charities, designers and academics to identify and create new thinking leading to solutions in this new era of personalising care.
Join the conversation during our Twitter Hour on Monday 12th October at 1–2pm! #DIAhour #Survive&Thrive
