Adapter club #9: Technology in Healthcare – A Need and an Opportunity
This event is in Estonian
An ageing society and limited resources are driving the search for new ways to make healthcare more efficient and sustainable through technology. This club event brings together researchers and entrepreneurs to share successful case studies, explore the real potential of technology in healthcare, and identify opportunities for collaboration that could lead to the next much-needed solutions. We will share ideas and examples of how combining technology, research and practical experience can support both the development of healthcare services and the preparation of future generations.
