iCEPS International Congress on Non-Pharmacological Interventions

New School of Medicine, Arnaud de Villeneuve Campus, Marie Curie Lecture Hall – 641 Doyen Gaston Giraud Avenue, Montpellier.

—

Science and intervention research have established that non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) are essential solutions for preventing, treating, or curing health problems.
In prevention, they reduce the risk of illness and lead to lasting improvements in health behaviors. In treatment, they alleviate symptoms, improve overall health, and enhance quality of life. In therapy, they complement biological treatments. Studies show that they reduce costs associated with unplanned medical care and out-of-pocket expenses for patients.

This conference, held in Montpellier, offers the opportunity to:

• promote scientifically validated NMI;
• share evidence of the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of each NMP;
• discuss assessment methods;
• to better understand how they work;
• promote the improvement of professional practices;
• consider future training programs, certifications, and funding;
• to meet researchers and practitioners specializing in the field of NMI.

Thursday, March 28, 2019, will feature plenary sessions and poster presentations in French and English on methods for evaluating INMs.

Friday, March 29, 2019, is dedicated to the presentation of study results evaluating INMs through oral presentations and posters in French and English.

Saturday, March 30, 2019, will feature panel discussions and professional workshops on clinical and scientific best practices in the medical device sector.

Three lectures open to the public will be held on Thursday, March 28, and Friday, March 29, 2019, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
