Smarter Health Caring for Smarter Cities (SC2)

The course is a space for dialogue to discuss possible solutions to unmet needs in health care. It is an activity within the EELISA project coordinated by the UPM, specifically the Health in the City community. Representatives of all the agents involved in the health ecosystem meet with students from different specialties (engineering branches of the UPM, and from other universities, other studies). Through a short series of presentations, the students and also the speakers will learn about the different points of view of doctors, patients, managers, administration and technology providers. The students, working in small groups, will offer proposals for new solutions involving emerging technologies, which will be initially discussed with the panel and refined through a first round of presentations. These proposals will be refined and completed offline internally within the groups with their mentors, and finally presented to the panel in the second round of presentations, with the objective of obtaining well-defined ideas in the form of new innovation, research or project proposals.
