The Future of Healthcare: Cancer Killing

Robotic Swarms are just the Beginning



The RE.WORK Health Summit is to be held in Dublin, Ireland, and will bring together global experts
to showcase the opportunities of accelerating technologies and their impact on health and medicine.

RE.WORK Health Summit will be held in Dublin on 12-13 February 2015, and will provide a unique
opportunity to interact with leading scientists, entrepreneurs, physicians & exciting startups in the very same
place. Meet fellow innovators with the same passion to change the world.

Discover cutting-edge technologies on the horizon from the world's leading innovators & scientists. Learn

Following his appearance at the last RE.WORK summit, Aubrey de Grey featured in many national
newspapers, such as The Times, The Independent and The Guardian, for his presentation sharing current and
future developments in regenerative medicine, including the possibility of halting the menopause within the
next 20 years. We also heard about world-changing technologies from Elaine Warburton of QuantuMDx,
who have developed a device for rapid response and monitoring of outbreak areas to prevent spreading of
diseases.

At the RE.WORK Health Summit, you can expect even more ground-breaking technologies with the
potential to positively disrupt the future of healthcare and medicine. The initial speaker line-up includes:

Sabine Hauert, Lecturer in Swarm Robotics, University of Bristol, designs swarms of nanobots for
biomedical applications. Her research uses machine learning and crowdsourcing to create nanobot swarms
for cancer applications such as the detection and treatment of tumours.

Juan Moreno, Coordinator, Bioengineering Group, is part of the BioMot project which develops
exoskeletons for humans to aid walking in unconstrained daily-life environments. The work in BioMot is
founded on the idea that new interactive technologies, if based on a unified theoretical framework would
enable positive co-adaptation of humans and wearable robots.

Vanessa Diaz, Senior Lecturer in Bioengineering, University College London, is an expert in
computational biomedicine. The main focus of her scientific work is in the development and use of multi-
scale computational tools and models in digital healthcare, especially in the cardiovascular field.

Stephen Dunne, Director, Neuroscience Research at Starlab, is currently leading the Neuroscience team
at Starlab that also created Neuroelectrics, one of the world's leading wireless, neuro-monitoring and neuro-
modulation technology companies. Stephen and the team are now developing a new line of neuroscience
data services focused on human experience, human performance and disease biomarkers.

Mario Ettore Giardini, Lecturer in Digital Health, University of Strathclyde, will present Peek, a toolkit
that harnesses the capabilities of smartphones for testing eyes in any situation, which enables eye
examinations in even the remotest of settings, simplifying management and monitoring of treatment
anywhere in the world.
