Submissions of abstracts are invited from staff or students based in Scotland, the UK and internationally, who are working or studying in health, social care, housing, third sector or academic settings.
The Poster Review Panel has determined that successful posters should represent a mix of digital health and social care service delivery and digital health and social care research projects.
Successful poster abstracts will be invited to showcase a poster (Portrait A1) at the event on 14 December 2023, and a virtual ePoster on the Learning Toolbox platform making the successful abstracts accessible to a much wider audience.
DigiFest22 ePosters are viewable on the Learning Toolbox platform.
