acmedsci published this video item, entitled “Technology for sustainable health & social care | Professor John Rogers” – below is their description.
How can technology support stretched healthcare professionals? Professor John Rogers explains how his work can help free up time for doctors and nurses through making routine tasks like monitoring more accurate and more efficient.
In this talk, he explains his work on robust, flexible skin sensors that can be worn outside the hospital to understand how illnesses impact people’s daily lives. Such non-invasive sensors are already valuable tools for neonatal doctors and nurses, helping them closely monitor and respond to the needs of very premature babies.
Professor John Rogers is Louis Simpson and Kimberly Querrey Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Biomedical Engineering and Medicine at Northwestern University, USA. He previously served as Director for the Bell Laboratories Condensed Matter Physics Research Department and is also Director of Northwestern University’s Institute for Bioelectronics.
Professor Rogers gave the 2020 FORUM Annual Lecture, ‘Technology to support the sustainability of health and social care systems’, on 12 October 2020. Find out more about the Academy’s FORUM programme connecting industry, the NHS and academia:
