Life with diabetes and digital health: about connections, data and control
Wednesday 15 May 10:40 - 11:30
Claus survived cancer and daily beats his diabetes with sweat, food and tech. He is an advocate for digital health and care technologies, and has been a thought leader convincing decision makers to embrace change. With an impressive career in Denmark, a happy and tech savvy nation, he has contributed to national and international projects, and helped make Denmark a global leader of digital health and care tech. He was a pioneer in launching mobile solutions back in the 1990s for health and social care, later promoting political awareness and uptake of IoT, robotics & tech services for citizens, patients and older adults. Today he is a digital nomad, working to enable access to affordable mobile healthcare in Thailand and other countries, and developing a platform to ensure that patients can exercise meaningful control over their data.
