Healthcare is still using outdated technologies while other industries adopt new technologies. The document discusses how healthcare is becoming decentralized and moving from hospitals to homes and phones through technologies like remote monitoring, wireless devices, and telehealth. It argues that healthcare will become a software industry and will be location independent and global through technologies that provide more data points and engagement to improve care.

The Jack Watters debate - tackling antimicrobial resistance in an ageing society, took place on the 16th November 2016 at the Old Operating Theatre Museum in London.
This event was dedicated to a long term supporter of the ILC and a pioneer in championing the health and well-being of ageing people, Dr. Jack Watters.
The debate was chaired by Baroness Sally Greengross (Chief Executive, ILC-UK) and saw the participation of the following speakers:
Professor David Salisbury CB, Associate Fellow, Centre on Global Health Security Chatham House
Matthew Edwards, Head of Mortality and Longevity, Towers Watson
Michelle Bresnahan, Founder, A Life for a Cure
Dr Gina Radford, Deputy Chief Medical Officer
Jack Watters served as Pfizer US Vice President for External Medical Affairs. In a pharmaceutical career spanning more than thirty years, Jack pioneered the landmark Diflucan Partnership Programme; spearheaded the ‘Get Old’ campaign to promote positive attitudes and approaches to ageing, and worked tirelessly in the fields of human rights, HIV/AIDS and ageing.
To celebrate Jack’s life and contribution to public health advancements around the world, the ILC-UK organised this special debate on one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century: the threat posed to medicine by the rise of antimicrobial resistance. Fittingly held in the oldest operating theatre in Europe, the debate focused on what must be done to prevent (in the words of Lord O’Neill, Chair of the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance) medicine being plunged ‘back into the dark ages’.
Senior policymakers and patient group representatives discussed the UK, and global challenge posed by antimicrobial resistance; the specific risk posed to healthy longevity; the role of vaccination in reducing antibiotic usage; and what Government and civil society can do to meet these challenges.
This document summarizes a presentation about exponential technologies and their potential to transform healthcare. It discusses how everyday technologies like phones and wearables could be used to make healthcare location-independent. It also mentions how professionals may subscribe to patient data in the future, and how predictive analytics could help identify illnesses earlier. The presentation argues that healthcare should embrace innovation like the pharmaceutical industry by rapidly testing new ideas.
This document discusses how new technologies will reshape the future of healthcare by making it more decentralized and digital. It argues that while healthcare currently relies on outdated methods, innovations in areas like wireless devices, remote monitoring, and predictive analytics will allow care to move from hospitals into the home. This delocalization of healthcare through technology will help address issues like an aging population and rising costs. The document advocates experimenting with new ideas, sharing health data, and using everyday technologies to make healthcare available anywhere.
This document discusses the transformation of healthcare through digital innovation and implementation. Key points include:
- Digital innovations will have a major impact and accumulate rapidly, representing a system-level change rather than just product innovations.
- Both innovation and implementation are equally important and efforts should continue on both fronts.
- Healthcare is becoming more global and connected through digital technologies like wireless devices and the migration of services online and to mobile platforms.
- Examples discussed include the digital transformation and paperless transition of a large European hospital system and the mainstreaming of connected health monitoring devices that integrate directly into medical records.
The document discusses how healthcare is still using outdated methods while technology has been widely adopted in other areas. It argues that healthcare will become decentralized and move from hospitals to homes and phones through technologies like remote monitoring, wireless devices, and predictive analytics. This delocalization of healthcare using everyday consumer technologies will transform healthcare delivery by making it more convenient, personalized, and globally accessible for more people at lower costs. However, barriers still remain like payment policies, lack of evidence, and professionals and patients not yet demanding more digital options.
The document appears to be a collection of slides and images from presentations by Lucien Engelen on various topics related to digital health and innovation. Some key points discussed include:
- Four forces impacting healthcare: unsustainability, consumer awakening, technology advances, and societal changes.
- Digital strategy requires completely rethinking models from the ground up, not just translating existing approaches digitally.
- An "innovation bulb" model depicting the stages needed to progress from an initial idea to implementation and scaling of innovations.
- A focus on shifting care from hospitals to homes and using mobile/digital approaches.
- The need for bold leadership, cultural shifts, and embracing failure to drive innovation
Vaccination rates among adults in Europe are lower than recommended levels despite evidence that vaccines prevent deadly diseases in older populations. To improve rates by 2020, efforts should focus on increasing vaccination among healthcare workers, empowering consumers with independent information on immunization, and promoting immunization as part of a cultural norm of healthy aging. Behavioral economics approaches could also help convince more adults to receive recommended vaccines.

The health and safety of employees and contractors is a key consideration for any mining operation anywhere in the world. However, in a sustainable mining context these considerations cannot terminate at the front gate – the health and wellbeing of people in the communities surrounding mining operations are crucial for the success of the operations themselves.
Critical health issues facing communities vary around the world and how these issues are addressed also varies. What is consistent is the need to consider how the projects are affected by the local environments and the impacts projects may have on communities. And this must be done at every stage of the project lifecycle, from early exploration to resettlement and decommissioning.
Public health should be integral to any mining operation. The contexts in which projects are located generate health challenges that can have serious repercussions on the projects themselves, such as the current ebola outbreak in West Africa. At the same time, public health considerations should be the cornerstone of any corporate social responsibility (CSR) program. If well-conceived these programs can contribute to local development but often the existing health systems and regulations are not clearly understood

Antibiotic Guardian Leeds Workshop 20164 All of Us
Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats facing us today.
Why it is relevant to you: without effective antibiotics many routine treatments will become increasingly dangerous. Setting broken bones, basic operations, even chemotherapy and animal health all rely on access to antibiotics that work.
What we want you to do: To slow resistance we need to cut the unnecessary use of antibiotics. We invite the public, students and educators, farmers, the veterinary and medical communities and professional organisations, to become Antibiotic Guardians.
Call to action: Choose one simple pledge about how you’ll make better use of antibiotics and help save these vital medicines from becoming obsolete.
threat to malaria control. Resistance to rifampicin, a
The threat of antimicrobial resistance is growing due to both appropriate and inappropriate use of antibiotics in humans and animals. Many infections are becoming difficult or impossible to treat as bacteria evolve resistance. While strategies have been implemented, more action is needed worldwide to curb resistance and preserve the effectiveness of existing drugs. This book examines experiences addressing resistance in different areas and progress since 2001, highlighting the need for continued efforts, especially political commitment, to combat the threat.
Claudia Llanten, MD, MPH of CMMB describes the importance of immunization in protecting the health of children and adults and how CMMB partners with other organizations to deliver vaccines at the CCIH 2018 conference.

The document discusses the role of diagnostics in preventing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It notes that inappropriate antibiotic use is fueling the emergence of AMR globally and reducing treatment options. Currently 700,000 deaths per year are due to drug-resistant infections and this could rise to 10 million by 2050. Diagnostics can play a key role in optimizing antibiotic use, preserving new drugs, and enabling surveillance. The document outlines FIND's strategy to develop and promote rapid diagnostic tests to improve rational antibiotic use in low-resource settings and preserve antibiotics by enabling more targeted treatment.

It provides global context on the burden of mental illness, with anxiety and depression most common. Data is presented on government spending and suicide rates in various countries. The meeting objectives are to compare approaches to mental health diagnoses in different countries and make policy recommendations. Barriers to universal coverage for mental disorders are discussed. The EU's initiatives to address workplace wellbeing, youth mental health, and underserved groups are highlighted. Roundtable discussions center on social and health system factors affecting treatment journeys, and what countries can learn from each other. Conclusions will be presented on addressing acute mental health challenges across the EU.
The document summarizes a conference on healthy aging and longevity in Europe organized by the International Longevity Centre (ILC) Europe Network. It provides an agenda for the conference including sessions on prevention and health interventions to live longer, vaccination rates across Europe, and creating age-friendly cities. The document also shares results from ILC's Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index, which ranks countries on metrics like life expectancy, health spending, and environment. It finds gaps between Western and Eastern European countries and recommends increased investment in prevention to help populations age healthier and live longer.
Redefining lifelong learning webinar presentation slides.pptxILC- UK
We know that we’re living longer, which means many people will also be working for longer. One in seven people over 65 are still employed in the UK, but we’re still seeing challenges in our labour markets.
According to the ILC’s Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index, the UK’s work span is only 31.5 years, ranking the UK 47th out of 121 countries. Skills shortages driven by demographic change are hitting all sectors of the UK’s economy: by 2030, we could see a shortage of 2.6 million workers. On the other hand, if UK employment rates for those aged 50 to 64 matched the rates of those aged 35 to 49, the country’s GDP would increase by more than 5%.
One way to improve work span and employment is through lifelong learning. However, in the UK, as the Learning and Work Institute’s Adult Participation in Learning survey showed, rates of learning continue to fall with age. In 2023, only 36% of people aged 55 to 64, 24% of those aged 65 to 74, and 17% of those aged 75 and over said that they’d taken part in any kind of learning in the past three years.
To better understand the approaches in other countries, we consulted with experts in lifelong learning, both from the UK and globally. ILC's report, in collaboration with Phoenix Insights, Redefining lifelong learning: lessons from across the globe considers the approaches taken in Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. While each country’s approach is different, and shaped by its wider cultural, political and economic context, there are some common threads including: learning culture; the range of learning opportunities on offer; levels of support and investment; and accessibility

Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index - Our impactILC- UK
The document summarizes the work of ILC (International Longevity Centre) on their prevention programme from 2019-2022, which included establishing the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index. Some key activities included:
- Engaging stakeholders worldwide to build consensus on prevention and healthy aging issues
- Influencing international organizations like G20, WHO, and UN to prioritize prevention
- Launching the Prevention Index, which ranks 121 countries on metrics like life expectancy, health spending, and happiness
- Establishing a coalition of over 30 organizations to endorse and support the Index's goals
- Hosting numerous global forums to discuss findings and identify policy solutions
Alongside the G20 Health Ministers’ meeting in Gandhinagar, India, in August, ILC-India and ILC-UK held a joint high-level side event to amplify the importance of healthy ageing and prevention among the G20.
Plugging the gap: Estimating the demand and supply of jobs by sector in 2030ILC- UK
The UK economy could see a shortfall of 2.6 million workers by 2030 – almost twice the workforce of the NHS – as a result of population ageing, the COVID pandemic and Brexit.
These shortfalls will affect the whole economy, with manufacturing, retail, construction, transport, health and social care among the sectors projected to be hardest hit.
To plug these gaps, Government must introduce a comprehensive Workforce Strategy looking at:
How to support people to stay in the workforce for longer, e.g. by supporting healthy workplaces, supporting carers and creating flexible conditions that suit people’s needs.
How to ameliorate childcare costs and reintegrate people into the workforce following timeout for caring or a health need
The role of migration and automation in addressing major workforce gaps

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

EVIDATION: THE METHODOLOGY
We conducted a retrospective study of
influenza-related outcomes (IRO) among
fully insured Type 2 diabetics from a
large US payer over a 1 year period
covering the 2016-17 influenza season.
We used bivariate analyses (54,656
diabetics, mean age 54.8 yr, s.d. = 10.2)
to compare IRO’s inferred from claims
data against IRO’s for 113,016 age and
gender matched non-diabetics.

The role for new technologies
140 years ago– first two way
phone call made
In 2000 – ½ world had never
owned a phone
By 2007 ½ the world had a
mobile phone
It took 75 years for telephones
to reach 50 million users
It took 4 years for the internet
to reach 50 million

On the other
“Ten or 15 years ago I could fly to New York in three
and a half hours on Concorde. In the Victorian age
they built a railway in five years. There is a big
divergence here”. Rory Cellan Jones

The recent growth of relatively affordable wearable
monitoring technology offers huge greater potential
to support healthy ageing.

Apps, Apps, everywhere
In August 2011, the UK
Health Minister, Andrew
Lansley called on health
professionals, patients and
app designers to “suggest
ideas for health-related
smartphone apps and
information maps”.

More use of our data?
It may be possible to predict dementia based on
our spending patterns.
Royal Free allowed DeepMind to have 1.6 million
NHS records
Chinese Government put up online for free a
dataset with 1 million to 2 million health records.

Every single resident was
tracked; their activity on social
networks, their purchases, their
movements, their commutes –
everything was uploaded to the
AI’s database, which then made
real-time decisions.
Traffic congestion, road
accidents, and crime are all
down.
It’s also wired up to everyone’s
mobile phones, informing them
of upcoming road traffic or
adverse weather conditions in
real-time.

New digital records have the potential to automatically
generate lists that identify undervaccinated populations,
determine which vaccines are overdue, and generate
reminders for doctors and the public.
Nanotechnology could deliver new ways of delivering
vaccines which address the fear of the needle (e.g.
oral/nasal/Nanopatch)
A humanoid robot might distract us from the pain.
A ‘digital necklace’ or app could helping store our
vaccination history.
Services like PatientsLikeMe allow patients share
information about adult vaccination with their peers
and with medical practitioners.
Real time information services similar to Google Flu
Trends can highlight the immediate risk of vaccine
preventable diseases.

It has taken us 20 years to get Electronic
Patient Records (and counting)
1997: Government said they would
“harness the enormous potential benefits of
IT to support the drive for quality and
efficiency in the NHS by: making patient
records electronically available when they’re
needed using the NHSnet and the Internet
to bring patients quicker test results, on-line
booking of appointments and up-to-date
specialist advice…developing telemedicine
to ensure specialist skills are available to all
parts of the country”.

How can we better engage older people
Only 60% of retired people
agreed that technology
“makes things better”
Over half thought that
technologies “fail when you
need them most” (2)
103. The International Longevity Centre-UK is an independent, non-partisan think-tank

How can we better engage older people
“But how much
smaller do we want
a phone?”
Some/many do want
new technology
but: “I don’t want to
live in a smart-
home – I’d rather
be dead”
Of more than 25,000 people
questioned in a 2012 survey of
attitudes in the European Union,
60 per cent thought robots that
care for children, the elderly and
the disabled should be banned
outright; and 86 per cent said
they would be
uncomfortable with one caring
for their children or parents
104. The International Longevity Centre-UK is an independent, non-partisan think-tank

How can we engage with the ethical issues?
Moral and ethical
debates – cant afford
to ignore them
Must help older people
choose technology
when it is right for
them (tagging/urine
tests)
Privacy
105. The International Longevity Centre-UK is an independent, non-partisan think-tank
dedicated to addressing issues of longevity, ageing and population change.
How do we ensure that new technology isn’t just a
gimmick, or worse, a distraction from evidence based
interventions?
How can new technologies tackle inequalities in access
and uptake as opposed to increasing them?
How can we “win the hearts and minds” of citizens?
How can we ensure that regulation protects consumers
but does not prevent innovation?
Should policymakers be looking for better evidence of
effectiveness or regulation of “apps”, games, or other
solutions?
Inclusive Design Might a European Accessibility Act help?
How can we tackle digital exclusion among older adults?
How can we ensure a greater innovation focus on
adults.

Why don’t adults get vaccinated?
1) Develop 4 Personas (10 minutes)
2) Consider why they might not be vaccinated (10 minutes)
a) Man, 80, has not had a vaccination since he was a child
b) Man, 65, not a native speaker. Ethnic minority
c) Woman, 70, lives alone
d) Woman, 55, freelance professional

What should you write on your cards?
On one card - one idea for using technology e.g.
– A “bot” could be used to talk people through their worries about
vaccination
– Uber could deliver a nurse to your house so you could be
vaccinated
On one card – one barrier to using technology e.g.
– People are fearful of “Fake News” and don’t trust online
messaging
– People don’t want their data shared
On one card - one Policy and practical solutions to using technology e.g.
– Good data protection regulation (GDPR?)
– Legislation to ensure easier to use websites

The European Code Against Cancer focuses on actions that individual citizens can take
to help prevent cancer.
Successful cancer prevention requires these individual actions to be supported by
governmental policies and actions.
1 Do not smoke. Do not use any form of tobacco.
2 Make your home smoke free. Support smoke-free policies in your workplace.
3 Take action to be a healthy body weight.
4 Be physically active in everyday life. Limit the time you spend sitting.
5 Have a healthy diet:
• Eat plenty of whole grains, pulses, vegetables and fruits.
• Limit high-calorie foods (foods high in sugar or fat) and avoid sugary drinks.
• Avoid processed meat; limit red meat and foods high in salt.
6 If you drink alcohol of any type, limit your intake. Not drinking alcohol is better for
cancer prevention.

7 Avoid too much sun, especially for children. Use sun protection. Do not use sunbeds.
8 In the workplace, protect yourself against cancer-causing substances by following health
and safety instructions.
9 Find out if you are exposed to radiation from naturally high radon levels in your
home. Take action to reduce high radon levels.
10 For women:
• Breastfeeding reduces the mother’s cancer risk. If you can, breastfeed your baby.
• Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) increases the risk of certain cancers. Limit use of
HRT.
11 Ensure your children take part in vaccination programmes for:
• Hepatitis B (for newborns)
• Human papillomavirus (HPV) (for girls).
12 Take part in organized cancer screening programmes for:
• Bowel cancer (men and women)
