Impressions of External Innovation Think Tank (eITT) Exhibition 2020
Proactively drive innovation to improve human life
The focus of this year's exhibition was to show the complete pathways for the most prominent diseases (e.g. coronary artery disease, cancer, diabetes etc.), the impact of COVID-19 on them and the possible solutions to solve these challenges. They were in the areas of digitalization, automation, new diagnostic and treatment methods, clinical innovation and process improvements in the healthcare system.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and digitalization being one of the key strategies for Siemens Healthineers, we had modified the format of our ITT exhibition 2020 to a virtual recorded event which included
- Recorded speeches from experts and management representatives from Siemens Healthineers and ITT key collaboration partners showing what we did together in the last years, what our plans for the next year are and how interdisciplinary Innovation Think Tank methodology has been helping in addressing the complex challenges in healthcare (bringing experts, disciplines, locations and healthcare system stakeholders together).
- Virtual tour of the ITT Office and lab giving an insight into our infrastructure, methodology and processes.
- Projects in the following areas by ITT Fellows and members from ITT locations and collaborations worldwide
• Facts and figures about 12 diseases, chosen based on top economic burden, social impact and mortality
• How disease pathways get influenced by the challenges from COVID-19
• Possible solutions to address those challenges in various disease pathways
This format allows you to have a look at the speeches of your choice at any time and disease content in the areas of your interest at any time as well as to share feedback with us.
