DiCE Project Final Event | Closing the Loop on Digital Health Devices: From Evidence to Action
Share this event
Join us for the DiCE Final Event, a full-day gathering bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to explore the future of digital health devices in the circular economy. Through interactive sessions, live demos, and expert panels, the morning programme will take a deep dive into environmental impact, sustainable design, collection behaviour, and business modelling - giving attendees practical insights and real-world evidence from the DiCE pilots.
The afternoon will shift focus to policy, with a live dashboard simulation, a guided prioritisation exercise, and a high-level panel discussion to shape actionable recommendations for the road ahead.
We look forward to welcoming you and to rounding off the day with networking drinks!
