SofTMech: Dialogue on Heart Failure
IDEAS:The initiative for dialogue between clinicians and modellers
Friday 22nd April, 2016 Room TBC, University of Glasgow
Description
This dialogue aims to identify some crucial challenges in the area of heart failure and diseases for
the next 20 years as seen by clinicians today, which may be tractable to a mathematical modelling
approach. Starting with some review-type talks by the lead speakers, we wish to have a lively
dialogue between clinicians and modellers, and agree on a list of important problems; some may
be addressed in the short term, and some will require longer term, large scale, funding. These
problems will be published at the POEMS/SofTMech websites to help the community to develop
new research proposals and forge new collaborations. All participants will be expected to
contribute to the discussion, and are welcome to bring a one-page brief (mini-poster) to introduce
their own expertise. It is also expected that all participants will submit a short description on
what they perceive as a particular challenge/problem from this workshop.
