Wearable technology is increasingly positioning itself in the role of a 24/7 health monitor, with AI in the cloud taking over the role of the traditional GP. Nick Hunn, WiFore Consulting, will be at The 3rd Annual Future Of Medicine – The Role Of Doctors In 2027 speaking on “Wear me – I’m a Doctor”
This talk looks at whether this desire to help our health is well founded and considers whether technology for technology’s sake may have positive or negative implication on the way we live our lives.
Nick Hunn is the founder and CTO of WiFore Consulting. For the past twenty years he has been closely involved with short range wireless and communications, designing technology that helps to bring mobility to products, particularly in the areas of telematics, M2M, smart energy, wearables and mobile health.
