HEALTHCARE AND LIFE SCIENCES PRACTICE

The IEEE SA Healthcare and Life Sciences Practice is a global platform of excellence bringing together committed volunteer stakeholders to evaluate, validate, and develop solutions for establishing trust in new technology applications that will afford the right to safety, security and protection of life. The practice is focused on three main priority areas - clinical health, bio/pharmaceutical value chain, and wellness - designed to address the obstacles to universal and sustainable quality of care for all individuals.

FEATURED COLLABORATIONS

WAMIII VIRTUAL TALK SERIES
The IEEE SA WAMIII (Wearables and Medical IoT Interoperability & Intelligence) Virtual Talk Series features global experts introducing challenges and opportunities, sharing insights on latest technology developments, and outcomes standards adoption in the connected wireless medical devices domain. Topics of discussion focus on communication and connectivity challenges for devices in, on and around the patient, data portability, validation and interoperability, patient data agency, and frameworks needed for mobilizing critical and urgent care units to the home. The series kicked off in March 2020 and is ongoing with new live sessions added monthly. Register free for access to on-demand and upcoming live broadcasts.
