Dr David Heath is delighted to have been invited to speak at the Society of Cosmetic Chemists 72nd Annual Scientific Meeting & Technical Showcase, taking place on 11-12th December 2018 at the Sheraton Times Square New York.

Dr David will be presenting his paper "Impact of Device and Digital Combos on Health & Wellbeing.

"Engineering based devices and digital technologies are transforming nearly all industries, creating opportunities that were not previously possible. One notable industry is the medical health industry where devices and digital technologies have been adopted to work alongside drug formulation to meet the common objective of supporting better outcomes for patients. Prime examples of this include drug-eluting stents for the management of cardiovascular disease and device technology to support patients manage their diabetes. This trend is transferring into the cosmetics industry, but full benefit from these technologies has yet to be realized.

This may be because device technologies are often designed in isolation from formulations which rarely leads to optimal consumer benefit. What can we learn from other industries and what new opportunities await the cosmetic industry when formulation science and device technology work together to support greater outcomes for the consumer?"
