We are excited to announce an upcoming workshop that marks a significant milestone in our project, “Strengthening Global Partnerships: Digital Twinning for Stroke Care in Vietnam and Indonesia.” This workshop will be held in November 2024 in Hanoi, Vietnam, bringing together a diverse group of experts, researchers, and practitioners from across Vietnam, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom.

This initiative, supported by networking grants from The Academy of Medical Sciences through the International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF), is a collaborative effort involving prestigious institutions such as Middlesex University London, the London Digital Twin Research Centre, the University of Oxford, the University of Medicine & Pharmacy (VNU-UMP) Vietnam, and Universitas Gadjah Mada Indonesia. Our network also includes key partners like NHS England, Tata Consultancy Services India, Military Central Hospital, Bach Mai Hospital in Vietnam, and the charity organization Facing the World, which is committed to fighting for children with facial deformities.

The workshop in Hanoi is designed to serve as a platform for fostering new partnerships among professionals in the fields of digital technologies and stroke care. Our primary objectives include:

1. Exploring the Current State of Stroke Care: Engage in discussions and presentations that provide insights into the current state of stroke care in Vietnam, Indonesia, and the UK. This includes understanding the challenges and opportunities in stroke prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation.
2. Pioneering Interdisciplinary Research: We aim to pioneer the development and advocacy of interdisciplinary research that utilizes digital twin technology and machine learning models. These advanced technologies hold the potential to revolutionize stroke care by enabling real-time patient monitoring, prediction, and intervention, particularly for patients experiencing minor strokes.
3. Strengthening Research Capacity: A key goal of this workshop is to strengthen research capacity and promote a culture of research excellence in the domain of digital technologies and healthcare. By bringing together experts from diverse fields, we hope to inspire innovative research collaborations that will have a lasting impact on stroke care globally.

This event is a unique opportunity for professionals in the healthcare and digital technology sectors to collaborate, share knowledge, and contribute to the advancement of stroke care through cutting-edge research and technology.
