Augmented & Virtual Reality in Healthcare

After a fantastic MedTech event last December on the use of VR and AR for Medical and training applications, the Realities Centre is running another event on Healthcare, focused this time on the patient side. 

On June 29th the Realities Centre is running a HealthTech conference at the Digital Catapult with a special focus this time on the patient including mental health, rehabilitation, VR for good, pain reduction and more. This event complements the Digital Catapult Patient Data & Digital Health Conferences on the 27th, and will itself be followed the week after by the Digital Health Conference 2017.

During the following weekend of July 1st, the Realities Centre will host a 24 hours hackathon on HealthTech and the conference' donations will be used to fund its costs. Details and tickets: http://bit.ly/2rnkm9K
