Dr. Zisis Kozlakidis (IARC/WHO - BBMRI-ERIC Observer, ARICE project expert) joined the second panel of the World Federation of Public Health Associations' symposium held in Geneva, Switzerland, on the 26th of May.
The overall theme is 'Health Policy and Personalized Medicine for Cancer: Projecting the Europe-China Collaboration in the Global Arena'. The second panel focuses on implementing the project outcomes of IC2PerMed.
Zisis Kozlakidis’ speech focused on two elements for the integration of healthcare innovation into routine practice: 1. The need to identify the clinical value new digital technologies bring (for example the Born in Guangzhou cohort in Huangzhou, China, which also reports any genetic conditions to the parents) and 2. The need to frame this value better for the end users, both clinicians and patients so that adoption and diffusion are aided.
