“If we approach it in this way, we have real life patients
with a story”
An interview with Daniel Wismeijer at the ITI World Symposium 202ONE

“More focus on the patient than ever”. The 5-day ITI World Symposium 202ONE Online is a digital experience in a class of its own, with 4 – 5 hours of daily live lectures and discussions each day on a dedicated state-of-the-art platform. In an absolutely novel approach, 7 patient scenarios are presented. Patients explain their issues in their own words and how these affect their daily life. In 7 live sessions, international experts address these real-life concerns, followed by moderated group discussions live from the ITI studio in Switzerland.

We asked Daniel Wismeijer, how it felt talking to thousands of viewers without actually seeing them, about the idea behind the 7 patient scenarios, the digital format, scientific evidence, and what his message is to participants who are not yet ITI Members.
