Quantum Sensing in Predictive Health and Early Diagnosis Workshop
Join us in London to learn about emerging quantum technologies for the healthcare industry, and potential applications for improving healthcare delivery.
Overview
Quantum technologies are poised to revolutionise the healthcare industry, where potential applications can help improve many aspects of health delivery. Quantum Sensing and Imaging, which leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to provide increased diagnosis potential and reductions in size and cost, have the most near-term deployable applications. To maximise their potential, early engagement with the healthcare industry is needed. This event aims to address this, and to help contribute to the past UK government’s Quantum Strategy Missions which states “By 2030, every NHS Trust will benefit from quantum sensing-enabled solutions, helping those with chronic illness live healthier, longer lives through early diagnosis and treatment.”
About the event
This educational workshop targets pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals involved in early-stage diagnosis and disease prediction using quantum sensing and imaging technologies for oncology, pathology, and neurology applications. Following presentations, the event will gather attendees’ opinions on these technologies and their applications in healthcare and policy.
Why attend?
From this event, you can expect to:
- Gain insight into emerging quantum sensors for the healthcare industry.
- Gain an understanding of technology translation within a healthcare environment.
Who should attend?
This workshop targets medical and healthcare professionals such as clinicians, horizon scanning teams and companies developing medical devices. No prior experience or knowledge of quantum technologies will be required to take part.
About the National Physical Laboratory (NPL)
The event is held in partnership with the NPL, the UK’s National Metrology Institute (NMI).
From new antibiotics to tackle resistance and more effective cancer treatments, to secure quantum communications and superfast 5G, technological advances must be built on a foundation of reliable measurement to succeed. Building on more than a century of expertise, NPL’s science, engineering and technology provides this foundation.
Based in Teddington, south-west London, NPL employs over 800 scientists. NPL also has regional bases across the UK, including at the University of Surrey, the University of Strathclyde, the University of Cambridge and the University of Huddersfield’s 3M Buckley Innovation Centre.
