Focus

• Key questions to be answered
• How will biomedical sensors shape the healthcare
  systems of the future?
• How can they impact the quality and cost of
  healthcare
• What are the business opportunities in the Nordic
  region?

Objectives

• To enable a strategic understanding of the
  possibilities and implications of the use of
  biomedical sensors for healthcare purposes by
  establishing likely scenarios for technology,
  applications and markets.
• To provide a framework for commercially viable
  exploitation of biomedical sensor penetration in
  the Nordic region by enhancing a network of
  competencies relevant to technology and
  applications.

Methodology

• The project revolves around a series of workshops
• 1st Copenhagen 6-7th October 2005
• 2nd Oslo, 2nd November 2005
• 3rd Stockholm, 3rd March 2006
• 4th Helsinki, 5-6th June 2006 (preliminary dates)

Workshop I

• Park Inn Copenhagen Airport, Denmark (40
  participants)
• Objective To establish status, needs and
  perspectives for biomedical sensors.
• Program day 1
• Background for the foresight FOBIS, Ingrid
  Svagård SINTEF
• Introduction and objectives, Lars Lading Sensor
  Technology Center A/S
• The Hospital Laboratory of the future, Jens F.
  Rehfeld, Copenhagen University Hospital
• Security and Defense, Åke Sellström, The Swedish
  Research Defence Agency
• Health technology assessment an introduction

Workshop I

• Program day 2
• Group workshops on medical sensors in relation to
  health care, safety and drug development.
• The task of the groups is to evaluate common
  practice and foresee the impact of biomedical
  sensing over the next 10 - 15 years on home care,
  doctors office and hospital diagnostics and
  surveillance systems.
• Home care
• What are the possibilities for home care
  diagnostics at present and in the years to come?
  (self testing, remote testing and control, the
  relation patient-doctor-hospital)
• Doctors office
• Current diagnostic techniques at the doctors
  office. What will a doctors office offer in 15
  years? (doctors office/offices, central vs.
  decentralized diagnosis and sensing, doctors
  office in a high tech health care system etc)
• Hospitals
• Central diagnostic units versus decentralized
  (near patient testing and central labs, hospitals
  as surveillance centers, hospital vs. doctors
  office)
• Defense and security
• Central diagnostic units versus decentralized
  (near patient testing and central labs, hospitals
  as surveillance centers, hospital vs. doctors
  office)
• Pharmaceutical Industry
• Requirements and possibilities in relation to
  time-to-market and development costs.
• Group presentations, with comments and
  discussions in plenum
• Main conclusions of the workshop Inclusion in
  FOBIS and future FOBIS activities

• Part of the MedCoast week/ ScanBalt Forum 2005
• Program
• Expert talks 1015 13.00
• Ethical challenges in biosensor research and
  applications, Ole Johan Borge, Bioteknologinemnda
• Potential of biomedical sensors state of the
  art, future perspectives, Erik Fosse, M.D.,
  leader of the Interventional Centre,
  Rikshospitalet
• Biomedical sensor technology state-of the art
  and future roadmap, Ralph Bernstein, Research
  Director, SINTEF ICT
• Market issues/business opportunities, Stein
  Lorentzen-Lund, CEO Alertis Medical AS
• Biomedical sensors in the pharmaceutical industry
  - "killer application"?, Olav Flaten, Medical
  Director, GlaxoSmithKline AS
• Panel discussion, work groups, presentations,
  concluding remarks

Workshop III

• Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences
  (IVA), Stockholm
• In the third workshop we will try to answer the
  question How do we get there?
• Discuss and establish technology premises and
  boundaries.
• technology-driven scenario development
• hands-on example on sensor implementation in the
  healthcare sector.
• establish market enablers and restrictions
• the role of health care authorities and other
  public organs.
• An exhibition will be integrated with the
  workshop and used as an arena to discuss the
  workshop theme How do we get there?

13
Workshop III

• Key note speakers
• Ingemar Lundström, Linköping University
• Brian MacCraith, Dublin City University
• Olof Lindahl, Luleå Technical University and CMTF
• Bengt Kasemo, Chalmers and Göteborg University
• Exhibition
