We are currently seeking patients for a MedTech Startup Bootcamp in Erlangen, Germany. 

Purpose

To share your thoughts on subjects like patient data, data donation, your views on sharing your medical data, how the health industry can better their interaction with patients, so you feel respected and what your expectations are. Your input will provide health innovators and startups with valuable insights and may lead to better and more effective healthcare solutions in the future for everyone.

Benefit of attending

Sharing your unique patient experiences will give healthcare developers and startups a better understanding of what you as a patient go through so future health innovations will be much more effective and useful to patients.
