Session Types

 

Session types are as follows:

 

  • Solution Demonstration - This Abstract type will be for in-person presenters only. The solution demonstrations will showcase software and hardware innovations. Presenters can also share digital assets, like fact sheets, brochures or other online materials to provide additional information about their solution. Only one presenter name is allowed with abstract submissions of this type.

 

  • Individual Presentation - This Abstract type will be for in-person presenters only. Individual Presentations are 15-20 minute presentations accompanied by Q&A with session participants. Forum organizers will work to group individual presentations with other related submissions by thematic, geographic or technical area. Only one presenter name is allowed with Individual Presentation abstract submissions.

 

  • Interactive Workshop -This Abstract type will be for both virtual and in-person presenters. Interactive workshops will be 60 minutes and must be planned to engage participants in hands-on learning. The Interactive workshops will aim to highlight an important digital health topic combined with an activity to further participant understanding of the topic. Up to three presenter names are allowed with this type of abstract submission.  

 

  • Pre-Formed Panel Presentation - This Abstract type will be for both virtual and in-person presenters.  Pre-formed panels should include 3 presentations on the same topic, and the panel should last no longer than 60 minutes, including time for Q&A.All pre-formed panels must also identify a moderator for the session. Each presentation can have one presenter and each session will have one moderator, for a maximum of four presenters and one moderator.  Pre-formed groups with interactive content should apply as an interactive workshop, not a pre-formed panel.

 

  • Poster Presentation - This Abstract type will be for in-person presenters only. Posters will demonstrate successes or failures of digital health solutions.  

 

  • Lightning Talk - This Abstract type will be for both virtual and in-person presenters. These quick 5-7 minute presentations given in a story-telling format, can highlight ideas, initiatives or results that engage participants. For the virtual conference these will be pre-recorded and played back; for in-venue abstracts the talk will be presented in person. Only one presenter name is allowed with abstract submissions for a Lightning talk.

 

In person sessions require all speakers to be present at the Nairobi, Kenya event.
