\nPhysician, speaker and author Laura Jana, M.D., will discuss innovations in health technology at the Omaha Science Cafe at 7 p.m. tonight at the Slowdown, 729 N. 14th St. <\/p>\n

“The term health technology is often used to refer to the applications of organized knowledge and skills in the form of devices, medicines, procedures and systems developed to solve a health problem and improve the quality of lives,” said Dr. Jana, who is director of innovation at the UNMC College of Public Health.<\/p>\n

An example would be the Fitbit and other wearable health technologies and apps that people now use as part of their daily lives, she said.<\/p>\n

Science Cafes involve a face-to-face conversation with a scientist about current science topics. They are open to everyone (21 and older) and take place in casual settings like pubs and coffeehouses. Each meeting is organized around an interesting topic of conversation. A scientist gives a brief presentation followed by a question and answer period.<\/p>\n

Pizza will be provided for the first 50 people. For more information about Science Cafes, click here<\/a>. Podcasts of previous Science Cafes also are available on the website or available for download on iTunes here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
