Looking forward to attending this event again and representing University of Derby. I will be proposing a structure to facilitate closer and more understandable links and cooperation between academics and clinicians in Derby and surrounding areas.

The agenda and speakers are listed in the PDF below…..

Prof Paul Stewart is Research Chair in Control and Systems Engineering at the University of Derby, and brings experience and skills from a background in Aerospace and Energy systems. For the past 7 years he has jointly led the iTrend Intelligent Technologies for Renal Dialysis programs with clinicians from Royal Derby Hospital / University of Nottingham Medical School. The team has succeeded in developing a system for continuous non-invasive continuous blood pressure monitoring during dialysis and successfully demonstrated robust hypotension prediction. During that time, a lot has been learned by both academics and clinicians on the team regarding obstacles to collaboration and cooperation between the disciplines. Prof. Stewart will propose a framework to support agile cooperation and innovation in Health Engineering.
