We invite you to a workshop organised by UCL Global Business School for Health and UCL Innovation &amp; Enterprise where we will focus on exploring how Digital Health can facilitate healthy, positive and inclusive health and wellbeing.The objective of this project is to foster innovation among HealthTech entrepreneurs to make their solutions more accessible and thereby reduce digital exclusion of the vulnerable groups.You will be able to learn from experts about different perspectives on what could be improved in HealtTech solutions to make it more accessible, inclusive, and consequently accepted. Our experts specialise in FemTech, innovation for healthy aging, healthcare communications, and personalisation of HealthTech solutions. We invite HealthTech entrepreneurs, clinicians, researchers, community leaders and practitioners to explore potential solutions during the roundtable discussions. The roundtable discussions will focus on brainstorming ideas for different types of solutions (e.g., remote care, lifestyle modifications for disease prevention, mental health support, diagnostic tools, etc.).

<h3>Background to the project:</h3>Removing health inequalities utilising digital health technologies (HealthTech) is at the heart of health policies and strategies globally. While there is a growth in available HealthTech solutions supporting healthy ageing (e.g., early disease detection, health promotion etc.), the challenge remains in low accessibility and digital exclusion of the most vulnerable groups in the society. The UK alone has a population of nearly 12 million people aged 65 and above who do not always find those solutions inclusive. Individuals from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups (BAME) report poorer health outcomes compared to White English groups and have lower life expectancies as well as disability free life expectancies compared to White groups in England and Wales.
