11 March 10.00-11.30 Healthy Brain (Lucy Overbeek, Arthur Willemsen)
This year the healthy brain session will focus on the science done in the region and the potential value it offers for other scientists or companies. The Healthy Brain study aims to unravel the mechanism in which the brain works and how it affects our daily lives. In order to do so, a thousand people in their thirties will be screened which will generate large amounts of knowledge and data. 

11 March 11.45-12.30 uur Hand hygiene, how technology can help behavior (Martijn Kriens, Heiman Wertheim and Seth Freedman) 
In this session it’s all about hand hygiene in hospitals and how this can be improved by intelligent observation systems. Hand hygiene represents the most important way for hospitals to prevent hospital acquired infections. While a lot of attention is given to hand hygiene, compliance to the current protocols is often not as much as we would like. We are all human and when in a hurry people sometimes forget to wash their hands between patients. All hospitals in the Netherlands perform regular visual observations of staff to check progress in this area. These visual observations are costly, especially in times when nurses are scarce, and do not present a comprehensive view of compliance. Further, observations do not present as an effective tool to manage compliance in an effort to reduce hospital infections. In this session we will dive into the current situation around hand hygiene and the association between hand hygiene and hospital infections, what strategies are being implemented to improve the current situation and what role technology can play in this.

11 March: Round table discussion, lead by Alain van Gool
Three funder of innovation around the table, an insurance provider, a national funder ZonMW and the pharmaceutical industry. Each will bring a scientist who will pitch their innovation. Together the following questions will be answered: How do we select an innovation and how do we make sure innovation will be implemented? 

12 March 14.25-15.05 uur Designing for well-being: Innovation in and around the patient room
In this session the Radboudumc takes visitors into the application and integration of the latest technology in the patient room. Merlijn Smits (Radboudumc) is an industrial designer and technology philosopher and focuses in her story on 'designing for well-being'. She discusses what technology can do with the individual human being: "From personalized medicine to personalized technology".

Harry van Goor (Surgeon, project leader R4heal and Continuous Monitoring, Radboudumc) elaborates on the necessity of integrating technologies in the "Smart Patient Room; it only works if it is integrated".
