Regulatory specialist joins Living Lab panel for inaugural Glasgow event next month
InnoScot Health’s Head of Regulatory Affairs has been confirmed as a panellist at an inaugural gathering from the Living Laboratory programme, set to be held in Glasgow next month
Elaine Gemmell will be part of the first Advancing Healthcare through Imaging Innovation Seminar, taking place in the Imaging Centre of Excellence at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital on Tuesday 17 June.
The free event, starting at 9.15am, plans to explore the latest advancements in imaging technology and their transformative impact on patient care for earlier diagnosis and personalised treatment.
Organisers say it will “bring together experts from healthcare, industry, and policy to explore cutting-edge innovations, challenges and opportunities in clinical adoption, and strategies to improve accessibility and equity in medical imaging”.
An expert in medical device regulation, Elaine will be part of a panel discussion entitled ‘Transformative Imaging Technologies: Opportunities and Challenges’.
She said: “Medical imaging technologies are an extremely important, burgeoning area for innovation which are key to unlocking significant improvements in patient care.
“They are also undergoing incredible transformation through the application of new opportunities offered by artificial intelligence and other leading technologies, allowing for a wide range of benefits including enhanced diagnostic accuracy, greater automation of routine tasks, more precise treatment planning, and improved training.
“Such innovation is not without challenges, however — from data privacy to workforce shortages — which should make for a fascinating deep dive discussion.
“With the seminar’s full programme set to be announced soon, including a hands-on workshop focused on patient-centred imaging solutions, as well as networking opportunities, I would advise registering now.”
The seminar’s sessions will include expert-led talks and panel discussions covering everything from precision medicine to technology implementation.
The University of Glasgow-led Living Laboratory for Precision Medicine programme aims to translate cutting edge science and innovation into real world clinical settings.
It supports the creation, refinement, and clinical evaluation of groundbreaking healthcare solutions, realising the full potential and benefit of innovation, demonstrating healthcare savings, while delivering economic and patient benefits.
By fostering a vibrant, collaborative ecosystem, the Living Laboratory says it is attracting businesses to Glasgow, fuelling the development and growth of local companies, creating new job opportunities, and enhancing skills.
