Tomorrow's World presenter pens date in diary to speak at digital health event

Lindsey Fallow will join the line-up at the Connected Healthcare lunchtime forum to be held at the Digital Media Centre (DMC) on January 21.

Ms Fallow, who is based in Littondale, Yorkshire, is a digital developer, technology journalist and blogger.

Since her diagnosis with Addison’s disease in 2013 she has become a dedicated advocate for better use of design and technology to improve the patient experience across the healthcare sec-tor.

Ceri Batchelder, project manager at Connected Healthcare, said: “It’s great to have Lindsey on board to add her insightful perspective as both a patient and digital technology expert and enthusiast.

“Innovative technological products, software and digital solutions are already helping to improve the delivery of patient care and our event aims to support further collaborations between talented designers and developers and representatives from healthcare organisations.

“Connected Healthcare will bring them together to get to know each other and learn more about how they could work together to tackle challenges to healthcare provision with bespoke design and technology solutions.”

Connected Healthcare has been organised by the DMC, through Enterprising Barnsley business support, in partnership with the Yorkshire and Humber Academic Health Science Network (AHSN).

The event is also supported by Tech North, a government-backed body which aims to accelerate growth of the digital economy in our region.

Managing director of Barnsley-based digital agency HMA, Nicola Tiffany, will also be speaking at the event.

Connected Healthcare will take place between 11.30am and 2pm on January 21.
