Join us for an exciting Interactive Discussion Group (IDG) session where you'll collaborate with fellow government leaders to tackle real challenges head-on. Gain fresh perspectives, share insights, and leave with actionable strategies that can transform your agency’s approach to AI.
Each round will last 30 minutes, giving you the chance to rotate and discuss three topics.
This session explores the intricate interplay between obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, often referred to as the "triple threat." Gain insights into comprehensive management strategies for patients presenting with these interconnected conditions. Experts will discuss the latest evidence-based approaches, treatment innovations, and the role of personalised care in mitigating risks and improving patient outcomes. Discover how integrated interventions can effectively target these complex health challenges to drive better metabolic health results.
This session examines the unique hormonal and metabolic factors influencing obesity in adolescents. Explore how puberty-related hormonal changes, insulin resistance, and metabolic adaptations contribute to the development and progression of obesity during this critical life stage. Experts will discuss evidence-based strategies for tailoring interventions to address these complexities, ensuring effective and age-appropriate care. Gain valuable insights into optimising treatment outcomes for adolescents through a deeper understanding of their distinct physiological and metabolic needs.
This case study delves into the power of personalised, data-driven care plans designed to meet the unique needs of each patient. Learn how leveraging patient data and behavioural insights can drive better adherence, enhance outcomes, and foster long-term success in obesity and metabolic health management. Discover practical strategies for designing customised treatment pathways, and gain actionable takeaways to implement tailored approaches that address the diverse challenges faced by individual patients.
This session will explore the role of nutritionists in personalised obesity care, highlighting how tailored dietary strategies can be developed based on metabolic profiles. It will cover the importance of medical nutrition therapy in obesity management, integrating nutrition counselling into multidisciplinary treatment teams, and the latest evidence on effective diets such as low-carb, intermittent fasting, and Mediterranean diets for improving metabolic health. The session will also address challenges related to patient adherence and strategies for encouraging behavioural change.
This case study examines how digital therapeutics can be used to enhance clinical obesity management. Learn how individually tracked patient data can be used identify trends, assess risks, and aid decision making for optimal obesity care. This session outlines the design, development, and implementation of a digital tool that integrates patient entered observation data with evidence-based treatment support strategies. Attendees will gain insights into the clinical impact of digital therapeutics, with a focus on improving health outcomes and streamlining obesity management in diverse healthcare settings.
This session offers valuable insights into the evolving regulatory landscape for obesity and metabolic health. Experts will discuss upcoming regulatory changes and their potential impact on innovation, treatment accessibility, and patient care. Learn how new policies and guidelines may shape the future of obesity care, from treatment approvals to reimbursement strategies. Stay informed about the regulatory trends that could drive or hinder progress in the field, and gain actionable advice for adapting to these shifts in the healthcare environment.
