LT-Innovate Partnering Focus Groups convene technology developers, suppliers, buyers and users of Language Technology for a day of learning and information exchange. This event will address issues in the Life Sciences & Healthcare industries. The focus will be on interactive, intelligent, multilingual solutions addressing a range of challenges facing organisations active in Life Sciences & Healthcare in Europe. The goal is to broaden the perspective of buyers, illustrating the potential of LT to improve their systems and services across a range of operational areas.
Life Sciences & Healthcare is one of the fastest growing sectors for the Language Technology industry. Managing complex scientific data on the one hand and equally complex clinical data on the other is a compelling challenge. Practitioners need to record, manage, access and use clinical information efficiently and accurately, and communicate effectively with patients using the tools of the digital society – all in the context of constrained healthcare budgets.
Today LT makes physicians and healthcare delivery organisations more efficient and effective. Today pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies mine scientific data using LT for faster and safer drug development. Today patients expect clear diagnostic information, and timely, accurate communication with practitioners.
Tomorrow Life Sciences & Healthcare will share seamless access to medical and scientific data using commonly accepted models mapped to terminology in many languages, used by many different types of systems. Tomorrow patients will expect more control over their personal medical data, and the ability to access and use it in the ways they want, to communicate it, and about it, across language barriers, all in secure and reliable environments.
