Clinicians Meet Engineers

Clinicians Meet Engineers brings healthcare professionals and engineering researchers together for a focused exploration of how AI, diagnostics and digital health technologies can solve real-world clinical challenges. Hosted by the Centre for Health Technologies at the University of Southampton, this four-hour event creates a unique space for interdisciplinary collaboration between medical practitioners and the engineers who build tomorrow's health solutions. The event addresses critical areas where clinical expertise meets technological innovation: diagnostics and monitoring systems, machine learning for medical prediction and classification, data visualisation for clinical decision support, specialised health monitoring devices, and digital health platforms for telehealth and community care. Whether you're a clinician frustrated by current diagnostic limitations, an engineer seeking real-world healthcare problems to solve, or a researcher exploring commercial pathways for health innovations, this gathering offers direct access to potential collaborators. ## What to Expect The programme features invited talks from leaders in health technology, flash presentations from participants showcasing current work, and a panel discussion focused on the healthtech industry and routes to commercialisation. You'll have the opportunity to interact with exhibitors demonstrating cutting-edge health technologies and engage in structured networking designed to spark meaningful collaborations. ## Who Should Attend This event welcomes healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses and clinical researchers, engineers and physical scientists working in or interested in health applications, academic researchers exploring clinical partnerships, and anyone involved in the development or deployment of health technologies. The interdisciplinary format ensures you'll meet people with complementary expertise to your own. ## Event Leadership The session will be chaired by Prof Neil White (Professor in Intelligent Sensor Systems and Director of the Centre for Health Technologies), Dr Adriana Wilde (Lecturer in Computer Science and Director of the Centre for Health Technologies), and Prof Karl Staples (Professor in Respiratory Immunology and Pharmacology, Associate Dean of Knowledge Exchange and Enterprise at the Faculty of Medicine). Lunch and refreshments are provided throughout, giving you ample opportunity to connect with fe
