Healthcare Webinars

In an upcoming webinar, learn how informed awareness can help hospitals overcome their most challenging operational challenges to simultaneously improve efficiency, staff engagement and satisfaction, quality of care, and profitability.

When developing a lateral flow test never underestimate the need for early consideration of the end user, how they will use the test, and what can be done to improve usability. The time and effort developing the optimal reagents for a high performing lateral flow test must be reinforced by simple and accurate sample preparation, result accuracy, and easy reporting. In this webinar, Dr. Neil Polwart, CEO at Novarum and Paul Christopher, Head of Technical Operations at BBI Solutions, and John Kelly, Founder and Managing Director at Atomo Diagnostics, will discuss the wing-to-wing capabilities provided by BBI Solutions and its preferred partners; Novarum™ technology and Atomo Diagnostics for unmatched usability and performance. Key learning objectives: - Understand the importance of considering overall lateral flow (LF) performance including end user errors – especially for the ‘at home’ market - Learn how to reduce performance risks in your LF development and manufacturing cycles - Understand the importance of effective user guidance to secure accurate LF results - Discover why sample preparation and delivery are critical parameters to give you lab class results in a Point-of-care testing setting Who should attend? - IVD manufacturers - Companies that already produce lateral flow assays/immunoassays, that work in biomarker discovery and have an idea for a test but not the technical capabilities - Personalized medicine - Clinical research and development and diagnostic test manufacturers - Point-of-care test manufacturers, veterinary diagnostics, and food/feed safety companies - Infectious disease test manufacturers - Biotechnology companies - Medical device companies - Hospital personnel (hospitals with inhouse Point-of-care diagnostic capabilities) Certificate of attendance All webinar participants can request a certificate of attendance, including a learning outcomes summary, for continuing education purposes.

Consumers worldwide are seeking ways to enhance longevity and quality of life, recognising that healthy ageing is a complex process influenced by various factors. With the global ageing population continually rising, consumers of all ages are increasingly aware of nutrition's role in healthy ageing. According to Innova Market Insights, individuals aged 26 to 55 associate healthy ageing with optimal dietary habits and improving quality of life1. This highlights the potential impact of healthy ageing globally, not just on personal well-being but also economic growth. This Vitafoods Insights insightful webinar will delve into the topic of healthy ageing and explore its potential within the nutraceutical industry. We will cover consumer insights, market trends, challenges, opportunities for product development, including its challenges. Join this webinar to gain valuable insights on how to develop and market products that cater to the unique needs of ageing consumers. 

Historically, medical device developers often opted to bring new products to market in the EU first, as obtaining a CE mark was perceived to be faster, less expensive and more predictable than getting US FDA clearance or approval. With the introduction of the EU’s Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and In Vitro Diagnostics Regulation (IVDR), the paradigm has shifted, and an increasing number of medical device companies are prioritizing the US market. However, the decision of where to launch first must be guided by more than just regulatory requirements. In an evolving global regulatory landscape where technology is advancing rapidly, medical device developers need to adopt a holistic approach to aligning their product development and go-to-market strategies to optimize the likelihood of regulatory and commercial success. In this webinar, the featured speakers will explore key considerations for prioritizing markets and optimizing the path to product launch. Join this webinar to gain insights into: - The comparison of the regulatory landscapes for medical devices and IVDs in the EU and US - Risk classification of medical devices and IVDs in the EU and US and its impact on product development and associated requirements - How to develop a rigorous clinical and regulatory plan to support your priority market - Guidance on aligning product development and go-to-market strategies - Real-world examples that bring these key considerations to life

This webinar will discuss the mental health crisis in the USA and reimagining care for those with severe mental illnesses. It will highlight the systemic issues, including racial disparities, inadequate care, and alternative models like the Trieste Model. Speakers will discuss the intersection of racism, mental illness, and the criminal justice system, as well as models focused on peer leadership and social justice.Speakers include Dr. Sarah Vinson, Keris Jän Myrick, Dr. Roberto Beneduce, Miriam Lewis Sabin, Nichole Roxas, Sarah Vinson, Keris Jän Myrick, and Roberto Beneduce.

The regression discontinuity (RD) design is a popular method used in a wide range of policy evaluations. Its popularity owes to the simplicity, credibility, and wide applicability of its design: individuals are assigned to treatment based on whether the value of their running variable exceeds a known threshold, effectively creating a local randomized experiment in a neighborhood of the cutoff as long as individuals cannot precisely manipulate their running variable. With the growing availability of rich datasets, RD designs with multiple running variables (MRD) have become increasingly common, and yet unlike for single-dimensional RD designs, there is little consensus over how to conduct estimation in such settings. In this webinar, we cover the basics of the MRD design, and discuss a simple estimation method. We also discuss potential applications in healthcare settings, such as studying the effect of Medicaid when eligibility depends on income and age, and health effects of higher education when financial aid eligibility depends on test scores and family income.

Self-awareness is one of the key components of Emotional Intelligence. Everyone has a story, and that story is fueled by our thoughts and emotions which in turn influence how we relate to ourselves, others and the world. Becoming self aware allows us to better manage ourselves, how we relate to others and show up in the world. At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to: • List the key components to identifying their personal story • Recognize how their story may impact themselves and others

Discover an informative webinar delving into the use of real-world data analytics solutions to promote diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in clinical trials. The healthcare industry is currently facing significant challenges in designing clinical trials, particularly those related to accessibility and inclusivity. One of the most pressing issues is the recruitment of a diverse participant pool, which directly impacts the generalizability of findings and raises concerns regarding the applicability of results. This challenge is compounded by the fact that the inclusion of accessibility considerations in the design of trials can be complex, given the array of factors such as location, transportation and language barriers that may limit participation and skew results. In addition, a persistent challenge for clinical trial teams is to balance the need for informed consent with addressing potential coercion and ensuring cultural sensitivity.
