SUMMARY:Webinar: Beyond the bump: How managing blood pressure around pregnancy shapes your future health.
DESCRIPTION:Register for Webinar here\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Webinar:\n\n\n\nMany women experience high blood pressure during pregnancy\, and it is increasingly recognised as an early warning sign for health problems later in life. Conditions such as gestational hypertension and preeclampsia are known to increase a woman’s longer-term risk of stroke\, heart disease and dementia. Yet most women receive little follow-up once their baby is born. \n\n\n\nRecent studies by University of Oxford researchers have shown that\, by monitoring and carefully managing their blood pressure after giving birth\, new mothers could cut their risk of future heart disease and strokes – and protect their long‑term brain health. \n\n\n\nThe studies\, supported by the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre: Oxford\, have led to the creation of a postpartum cardiac risk clinic in the Oxford Heart Centre. \n\n\n\nThis talk will explore how pregnancy is a window into future health\, giving an opportunity to improve long-term care and help prevent future cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline in women. The speakers will also show how understanding why some women develop long-term complications while others recover fully could lead to more personalised treatment.  \n\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Winok Lapidaire is a Principal Investigator in Cardiovascular Medicine at the Radcliffe Department of Medicine. Her research focuses on the effect of high blood pressure on the brain\, especially during and after pregnancy. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Jamie Kitt is a Consultant Cardiologist in London and Oxford\, and is conducting post-doctoral research into hypertensive pregnancy at the University of Oxford’s Radcliffe Department of Medicine.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Early HTA\, Translation and Commercialisation of Digital Health Innovations
DESCRIPTION:The Economics of Population Health Research Centre (formerly HERC)\, together with the NIHR BRC: Oxford and the NIHR BRC: Oxford Health\, invites you to attend aWorkshop on Early Health Technology Assessment (HTA)\, Translation and Commercialisation of Digital Health Innovations. \n\n\n\nVenue: Richard Doll Lecture Theatre\, Richard Doll Building\,Old Road Campus\, OXFORD\, OX3 7LF \n\n\n\n\nTo attend the workshop\, please register here.\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Workshop: \n\n\n\nDigital health innovations—including apps\, AI tools\, online platforms and wearable technologies—offer significant opportunities to improve healthcare. However\, they present new challenges for evaluation\, implementation and commercialisation\, with decisions often needing to be made before conventional evidence is fully established. \n\n\n\nThis workshop will explore how early health technology assessment (HTA)\, economic evaluation and commercial considerations can be integrated to support the successful translation of digital health innovations into clinical practice. Through expert presentations and real-world case studies\, participants will discuss approaches to early evaluation\, commercialisation pathways and the scaling of digital innovations within the NHS. \n\n\n\nThe workshop is intended for: \n\n\n\n\nResearchers and theme leads from the Oxford Biomedical Research Centre and Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre\n\n\n\nClinicians involved in digital innovation\n\n\n\nHealth economists\n\n\n\nAnyone with an interest in digital health evaluation\, translation and implementation\n\n\n\n\nClick for Draft Agenda here.
