Techno Bodies; Hybrid Life
It was a pleasure speaking at the Dana Centre for the Techno Bodies; Hybrid Life event. Despite feeling comfortable with the technology I use in biomedical research and in clinical practice, it’s always challenging and interesting discussing bionics with people who work in different areas. In both of the sessions Tobie and I facilitated, the first question was exactly the same but the discussions diverged enormously from there, taking in telecoms technology, diabetes management, the iPhone, health economics and the utility of the bionic man. My only regrets are that we didn’t have longer to explore the issues in more detail and that I didn’t get to take part in the other discussions.
I hope all that attended enjoyed themselves and I’d be very happy to continue any discussions in the forum or offline.
Looking forward to future events,
