Webinar: Engineering Health Access

The pandemic birthed unprecedented innovations in diagnostic technologies and decentralized their implementation for COVID-19 detection and surveillance. Drawing from examples of innovation in the current pandemic, experts will discuss challenges in developing and implementing solutions designed to increase health access as well as lessons learned and advice for carrying these opportunities forward in the post-COVID pandemic future. This webinar will answer questions such as: what advances made these innovations possible? How can future innovations leverage these changes to reach populations with limited healthcare access and how can we design engineering solutions to reach underserved patients from the start?
