Cambridge NeuroWorks and PolyU PAIR Joint Seminar: Mr Vincent SOURDAINE, Vice President of Neuromodulation in Europe, Middle East & Africa at Boston Scientific, delivers “Neuromodulation - Access to Innovation”

Neuromodulation is changing how we treat chronic pain and neurological conditions, yet innovation alone is not enough. The greater challenge is ensuring that proven therapies reach the people who can benefit from them – and doing so in an economically viable way. This keynote explores the gap between technological breakthroughs and real world adoption. Why do effective therapies remain underused? How can awareness, clinician training, patient education and procedure improvements accelerate access to care? And what role do industry, healthcare providers and policymakers play in turning innovation into impact?
