The second workshop, addressed the perspective of healthcare personnel on diagnosis and treatment. And in the third workshop, the key points raised in the two previous sessions were analyzed.
The fourth workshop, the cycle of citizen science workshops closes with a series of workshops on creativity and co-design of solutions. The aim is to encourage, in a collaborative manner among all the groups involved (patients, professionals, companies, research personnel, etc.), the development of research and innovation projects that respond to the challenges identified in the previous workshops.
