Better HealthTech by Design launch event!

Interested in human-centred design for health? Come along to our specialist network launch event.

This is for clinicians, technologists, designers and anyone interested in ensuring health technologies meet human needs. There’ll be speakers sharing interesting case studies and a chance to chat, ask questions and have your say on future events.

The speakers and their case studies are:
