About

After the great success of the meeting last year we are delighted to announce the 2nd Digital Rheumatology Day. Unfortunately, because of the increased spread of the corona virus in Europe, the conference cannot take place as a face to face meeting this year.

Instead, we will show you a part of the meeting free of charge as a virtual conference, which will take place via zoom on May 7, 2020.

But to make sure you will not miss any lecture we have developed the Digital Rheumatology Network platform. On this, as a registered member you will find all recorded presentations within the next weeks. Furthermore, we will keep you posted on this new online platform about all news in the field of Digital Rheumatology and provide you a regularly updated overview on pioneering developments of digital therapies in Rheumatology like Biomarker, artificial intelligence, applications, AI, machine learning etc.

Our target is to attract people from all over the world and from a wide variety of disciplines to foster together this field.

We are looking forward to welcome you in our zoom meeting on May 7, 2020.
