Join us for NortHFutures digital health hub event at
Northumbria University
We’re hosting this event at Northumbria University to create
an invaluable space for the healthcare industry to collaborate, learn, and
drive positive change alongside our key research areas.
The aims of the event are to:
- Share knowledge to increase awareness and understanding of academic research in digital health, share best practices, drive synergy and explore opportunities for future developments.
- Connect and build partnerships to develop collaborations and accelerate digital health technologies.
The event is designed to inspire fresh thinking, share cutting-edge research, and build collaborators to develop healthcare technologies for the future.
NortHFutures aim to address unmet regional health and care
needs and inequalities around the following themes:
• Promoting Health and Nutrition for Children and Young People;

- Long term Health conditions and Mobility
- Digital exclusion/Accessibility
- Workforce Development/CPD
Anticipated outcomes: New collaborations to develop project
ideas with a view of applying for collaborative research funding.
Healthworks and Gabriel Cucato, Northumbria University have
also been supported by NHF through use of Newcastle University’s maker space
and technician support.
Paul Court, Healthworks:
“As part of a multidisciplinary
research partnership between Healthworks and Dr Gabriel Cucato at
Northumbria University, we developed a bespoke prototype to tackle
hypertension.
This design and production of the innovative prototype was
only made possible through meaningful cross-institution collaboration. We are
delighted to recognise the support of Northern Health Futures
(NortHFutures) Hub, whose funding and support brought this research to
life.
This collaborative partnership exemplifies the NortHFutures
mission of bringing people, ideas, and innovation together to shape
healthier futures for our region and beyond.”
Event agenda coming soon.
