SUMMER SCHOOL - Fiesch, 21-26 August 2016

True innovation in healthcare diagnostics requires multidisciplinary technical knowledge, an awareness of the real medical needs, and an understanding of the limitations imposed by the actual regulatory and reimbursement systems.

By bringing together key opinion leaders from academia, medicine, established corporations and young startups, this summer school aspires to give PhD students an understanding of the current technological, economic and regulatory environment concerning the field of medical devices and personalized medicine.

The school will focus around three big topics:
1. Personalized medicine and eHealth – the big picture, will explore the social, economic and regulatory context required for the diffusion of personalized medicine and eHealth practices.

2. New technologies and approaches for personalized diagnostics, will present some of latest emerging technologies that will revolutionize the field of diagnostics in the next years.

3. From lab to market – how to transform technology into a product, will share the story of successful entrepreneurs, presenting the challenges they needed to face in bringing a technology to the market.
