ABOUT
Carolina is our speaker for April's #TechTalkCPT, she will be talking to us about tracking the performance of medicine in the age of the IOT. Traditionally, medicines are trusted after limited clinical trials and are not questioned unless something goes wrong, and demonstrably so. Today, technology enables us to understand the complexities of our environment and ourselves in near real-time. How does that open doors to improving medical care and practices? Medicine is but one of many established industries that is ripe for a fundamental rethink. This talk is an exploration of one aspects of that important part of our lives.Carolina Ödman-Govender
