With event speakers including the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock MP, and several medical start-ups who will be showcasing the transformative effects of new technologies, ORCHA is delighted to be supporting the Royal Society of Medicine. ‘Medical Apps: Mainstreaming Innovation’ promises to be an exciting event, covering a range of topics:

  • Understanding the current state of the art of medical apps
  • The latest position on regulation and endorsement of medical apps
  • Gaining an appreciation of how to assess the clinical effectiveness of medical apps
  • Understanding of the medicolegal issues around medical app use
