Abstract
How Formula 1 could drive smarter healthcare
With the NHS creaking under the strain of the ever increasing demands of an ageing population, giants from the motorsport, automotive and medtechindustries have come together to see how advances in these sectors could drive cost savings and better quality service in the nation’s health and care systems.
The unique cross discipline approach has being launched by Medilink UK in partnership with the UK’s premier advanced technology focused Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC).
At today’s event at STFC’s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), the focus will be on seeing how advances in technologies such as the remote monitoring and diagnostic sensor technologies used by F1 teams to finesse cars’ performance on the track could be transferred to revolutionise the way people are cared for.
