ELAROS host PPIE workshops as part of MammoScreen Project in Lisbon, Portugal

In May 2024, ELAROS was lucky to join the rest of the MammoScreen Project partners in at the Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon, Portugal for a bi-annual MammoScreen Consortium meeting. Multiple ELAROS colleagues including CEO Paul O’Brien, Jennifer McDonald, Oscar Petherick, Toby Boud and Oliwia Zwara attended, alongside special guests Professor Jennie Wilson from the University of West London and Wendy Watson MBE from the Hereditary Breast Cancer Helpline.

The week’s itinerary included a consortium meeting, stakeholder workshop and a poster presentation, where we showcased our work on the MammoScreen app. This event provided a valuable opportunity to connect and catch up with all the project partners on their contributions. We also got to see a demonstration of the MammoWave technology, currently undergoing a clinical trial involving 10,000 women across five countries.

Most importantly, ELAROS hosted an in-person PPIE workshop and an international online workshop focusing on the co-creation of the Lite app and full app.  These sessions were essential for refining the app’s design and functionality to meet users needs.

ELAROS is very greatful to all to all participants for their invaluable feedback, and to EVITA and Humanized Solutions for co-hosting these workshops with us.
