Name: Mind Meets Machine: The Future of Human Centred Health Tech
Start: 2026-05-20T19:45:00
End: 2026-05-20T22:00:00
Location: The Griffin

From AI-driven support systems to breakthrough neuro-technologies, we'll bring together innovators who are redefining healthcare. We explore how emerging technologies are transforming patient experiences, enhancing understanding of health data, and expanding on treatment strategies. Join us for a thought-provoking evening to discuss the spaces where mind and machine converge, demonstrating how tomorrow’s health solutions are already taking shape today and inviting us to imagine a future where technology enhances care without losing sight of the human experience.

Can AI Help Us Help Each Other?

Wanshu Yu (PhD Student, University of Glasgow)

Peer support groups help people through shared experience – but often run short on time, staff, and resources. Could AI help?
This talk explores how AI might support, not replace, human connection. Instead of giving answers, what if AI helped connect you to the right person at the right time?
Drawing on co-design workshops with real communities, I’ll share a new vision of AI as a bridge between people.

Can AI Support Better Living with Fibromyalgia?

Delnia Alipour (PhD Student, University of Glasgow)

Fibromyalgia is a condition that affects how people experience pain, often in ways that are hard to explain or predict. In my research, I use data from people’s daily lives, capturing both pain and emotions to better understand these experiences. I then use AI to uncover patterns and explore how pain changes over time. This talk looks at how we can make sense of a condition that often feels invisible.

Implantable Neurotechnology - What Does The Future Hold?

Prof Keith Mathieson (Professor, University of Strathclyde)

Neurotechnology is a field that develops devices to interface with the brain to help us understand how it works and, in some cases, can repair damaged areas of the human brain. Recent technological advances are creating many more opportunities to treat neurological conditions that have proven resistant to pharmaceutical or therapeutic approaches. This talk will discuss what is currently possible (and not possible) and review some of the latest devices that are transitioning to clinical impact.
