MTSI arranged a panel discussion on "Perspectives of family caregivers in digital healthcare – challenges and opportunities with new medical technology."

Digitalization and new technology create fantastic opportunities for family caregivers to contribute to the care of our loved ones – but how do we overcome the legal and regulatory obstacles along the way, and how can universities contribute with solutions?
