SymlConnect present at CALIN@Cardiff – September 2017
SymlConnect partnered with Cardiff University, Bangor University, Tyndall and J&C development to be awarded the CALIN project, ‘ Minimally-invasive clinical monitoring and data transference in patients’ using micro-needles to identify specific bio-markers.
SymlConnect’s Chris James addressed the delegates with an informative discussion on the benefits of wearable device monitors and machine learning to detect at-risk signals, helping to generate threshold alerts to family or primary care staff. The innovative approaches allow for secured remote communication, cost savings in relation to duplication and paper based communication, improved clinical time efficiency and informed decision making.
