Workshop — Measuring cancer earlier: Wearable technologies and real-time health monitoring
06 May 2022 • London, United Kingdom
Organizer:
Royal Society of Analytical Division and Cancer Research UK
Abstract:
This workshop continues efforts to meet our goal of bringing together researchers from across our communities to build interdisciplinary collaborations, which are crucial in meeting the challenge of detecting cancers earlier. One area of interest highlighted in the Early Detection and Diagnosis of Cancer Roadmap is the use of wearable and other technology for real-time monitoring and risk management. There is an opportunity to reduce individual risk levels and detect warning signs for cancer earlier by mobilising citizens to take a proactive approach to monitoring their health via wearable, implantable, and/or smartphone technologies. This challenge will require a clear understanding of cancer, its risk factors and biological properties, as well as how to measure them. It will also require efforts in clearly reporting that information through digital literacy, health management, patient behaviour and data integration.
Topics:
Sensors, Data analytics, Implantable devices (eg for other diseases), Lab-on-chip, Biomarker validation, Cancer diagnostics, Epidemiology and cancer risk, Health systems research, Behavioural research
