Strengthening International Dialogue on Digital Health | Interview with Eujessika Rodrigues (Brazil)

An Inspiring Gathering and Passionate Discussion on Digital Health

CRIR recently had the privilege of welcoming Eujessika Rodrigues, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at the Universidade Estadual da Paraíba (Brazil), as a guest speaker. This meeting sparked rich and stimulating discussions on current and future challenges in digital health.
During her presentation, Professor Rodrigues addressed several key themes, including challenges related to an aging population, the use of motion and vital signs sensors, and the integration of this data into a national digital platform. She also highlighted the importance of evaluating health technologies, including economic analysis.
Her innovative approach and ambitious vision sparked keen interest within the CRIR community, opening the door to new ideas and potential future collaborations in the field of digital health.

CRIR would like to extend its warmest thanks to the BRILLIANT Learning Community laboratory for facilitating this connection, as well as for its leading role in fostering ties between CRIR and Brazil.
We would also like to acknowledge the key individuals who helped organize this event: Sara Ahmed, Fernanda Menescal, Matheus de Paiva, Mushirah Hossenbaccus, and Naima Abbadi.
