RMIT Technology Matters series: Future of Health and Social Care. What's next…

Live webinar

From biomedicine and 3D printed implants, to mental health and more, we'll be discussing how our society's most complex health issues are being solved with the help of emerging technologies.

Like many sectors, healthcare is entering a period of rapid change. The advancement of new technologies and discoveries are fundamentally changing how we prevent, diagnose and treat diseases, as well as the relationship between medical professionals and patients. 

Throughout this webinar, we’ll explore the role technology is playing in shaping the future of health and social care, focusing on some of the key areas of technological advancement. 

This will be a live, interactive webinar discussion and Q&A with our three leading health industry experts on the panel.
