The CATCH community gathered this week for the first Networking
Lunch of 2017.
More than 30 academics, researchers, Professional Services
staff, partners and visitors attended the lunch, held in the iconic University
building, Firth Court.
We were delighted to be joined by Professor Mike Trenell with
his presentation: Digital health and diabetes - hype or hope? Mike is a
Professor of Metabolism and Lifestyle Medicine at Newcastle University. His
charismatic talk resonated with the network as members of the audience eagerly
asked questions on his research and the NIHR Innovation Observatory of which
he’s Director.
Simon Butler, CATCH Centre Manager also excitedly shared the
upcoming events that shouldn’t be missed in 2017. From Luc de Witte’s Inaugural
Lecture and CATCH showcase on 10th - 11th March as part of the Sheffield
Festival of Science and Engineering to the AAATE2017 in September, where the
Call for Papers is open until 10th February 2017.
The next Networking Lunch will be held on Tuesday 14th March
2017 in conjunction with the ScHARR seminar series. In the Pemberton Lecture Theatre
B, Regent Court, the lunch will take place at the earlier time of 12.00 -
14.00. Our guest speaker, Matthew Machin, mHealth Applications Manager in the
Centre for Health Informatics at the University of Manchester will speak around
“Improving Health in Long-term Conditions with Smartphone Apps and Wearable
Devices.”
