On the 4th February, Sensor City and Whitecap Consulting will host their second event of their Smart City series, Smart Health North, focussing on how data and digital technologies are improving the quality of peoples' lives, immersive technology for health education and mental health in the workplace.

The world as we know it is changing and the pace will be rapid. Powered by the advances in sensor technology, the internet of things is expanding. The impact will be felt across our northern cities, by our businesses and into our homes. Liverpool is no exception, with initiatives underway across the city that have the potential to forever change the way we work and live together.

But what are these changes? How will they affect us? When will they come online? What can we do to develop them faster and more efficiency?

This event is the second in our series of Smart City event, aiming to bring together business with real challenges helping our Smart City innovators and businesses with real challenges helping our Smart City economy to engage, share ideas and move the conversation forward to tangible outcomes. The event will include presentations and discussion focussing on Smart Healthcare & MedTech, and will cover topics including how data and digital technologies are improving the quality of peoples’ lives, immersive technology for health education and mental health in the workplace.
