MEDiT and PHARMAiT, a date with the new frontiers in healthcare, at Fiera di Vicenza!

The Expo-Forum dedicated to innovation in the pharmaceuticals industry and innovation in healthcare, are back on 28 and 29 October

MEDiT and PHARMAiT are back together at Fiera di Vicenza for two days dedicated to technological developments in healthcare and pharmacy. For the fifth year running, Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 October 2015, Fiera di Vicenza is organising MEDiT, the Expo-Forum dedicated to Innovation in Healthcare, which shines a spotlight on the recent innovations in the healthcare and medical industry. At the same time, PHARMAiT, the event dedicated to innovation and tech developments in healthcare,aims to raise awareness of new methods and technologies in the field of pharmaceuticals with debates, round tables and very special guests. The main aim is to contribute to providing a picture of the current situation in the pharmacy trade, and to look at possible future scenarios, highlighting growth opportunities for a developing sector.

The eagerly awaited event of MEDIT, is the conference dedicated to the Hybrid Operating Theatre, a surgical environment in which it is possible to carry out traditional surgery and image-guided surgery, accompanying operations with pre-, intra- and post-operative diagnostics. To complete the picture, inside the Business Area is a simulation of the Hybrid Operating Theatre, to give visitors to MEDiT a full idea of the technologies involved, together with the organisation and set-up of the theatre.

The intensive collaboration between the Veneto Region, patrons of the event, and Arsenàl.IT has led to the development of five conferences dedicated to the gradual digitalisation of the healthcare system and the effects that this will have on the public and those who work in the sector. “Quale modello per una nuova sanità?” [Which Model for a New Healthcare Sector], “Fascicolo Sanitario Elettronico regionale: le potenzialità dello strumento per la ricerca e il governo” [Regional Electronic Healthcare Directory: the potential of thistool for research and government”, “Dematerializzazione della prescrizione: cambiato il colore, è ora di mostrare il valore” [Dematerialisation of Prescriptions: the colourhaschanged, nowit’s time to seewhatit’sworth], “Fascicolo Sanitario Elettronico Regionale e Privacy. Come cambia l’azienda sanitaria: nuove responsabilità, nuove figure” [Regional Electronic Healthcare Directory and Privacy. How health authorities have changed: new responsibilities and figures] and “Smarting Health App. Possibili modelli di Architettura IT nella Sanità Digitale: confronto tra mercato e decisionmakers” [SmartingHealthApp. Possible IT Architecture models in digital healthcare: comparing markets and decision makers]. These are the appointments not to be missed over the two days of MEDiT.
