Co-design through Co-location
Please join us for Morning Tea with IHealthE | Co-design through Co-location. IHealthE is in the process of relocating to the Integrated Acute Services Building (IASB), a move that will facilitate direct engagement between clinicians and university researchers. This transition will provide access to prototyping and ideation spaces, fostering collaborations that will significantly impact healthcare delivery. The event aims to showcase the utilisation of these spaces and explore how the co-location of researchers and clinicians will lead to the development of more effective co-designed solutions.
Join us for a discussion on transformative healthcare possibilities. Discover how this unique co-design and co-location model accelerates innovation, empowers clinicians, and drives meaningful change in healthcare.
