ADLIFE Newsletter

Issue 5 | September 2021

 

Welcome to the 5th ADLIFE Project newsletter.

Highlights from ADLIFE

 

Although the summer months are often quieter while we all enjoy some well earned time off, work has continued in the ADLIFE project. This newsletter rounds up the insights from the project over the summer months and lets you know what's coming up in the next few months.

Our new ADLIFE video

 

We have just launched a short animated video that explains the ADLIFE project, it's aims, who is involved and what taking part means for participants.

Where we’ve (virtually) been...

 

In June, the ADLIFE project leads from Kronikgune participated in the 2nd Annual Federated Learning Conference presenting 'Can federated learning raise awareness of the deterioration of patients with chronic diseases?'

Meet the ADLIFE Team

 

Because the restrictions imposed by the global pandemic prevent us meeting up in person, it's important that we find different ways to help us get to know each other better. We've asked the ADLIFE partners to take part in Q&A sessions to share their backgrounds, their aspirations for the project, as well as some interesting facts about themselves that we might not already know!

Over the summer, we've got to know Professor Dipak Kalra, the President of the European Institution for Innovation through Health Data (i~HD), and Mohammed Omar Khan, who is the Lead Software Engineer and the Institute of Digital Healthcare (IDH) within the Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), University of Warwick.

Don't miss out on the forthcoming webinar featuring a collaboration between ADLIFE and SCIROCCO teams where they will discuss their respective studies in relation to the concept of digital maturity.
