Of all our alumni, this guy is a star. He was \u2013 and is \u2013 involved in everything: a student representative for his year-group, a member of the Medicine students\u2019 association, a regular volunteer for Medipinas, the CEU humanitarian mission, and on and on. Now a specialty registrar, Valent\u00edn (\u201cValen\u201d) Henarejos recently came back to CEU to talk to Health Sciences students about a healthcare app aimed at supporting volunteering missions, while also giving them a lot of useful advice to help them get the most out of this stage of their development<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You came back to CEU a few days ago, this time as a guest speaker. How did it feel to be on the other side this time? There must have been a real rush of emotions and memories.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It certainly was a strange feeling to be back at the University, but as a doctor rather than a Medicine student. At the same time, so many good memories came back to me. To be able to see and speak to my lecturers, to see how the University has grown and developed in terms of facilities, student numbers, and even university atmosphere \u2013 all that was fantastic and really thrilling. It was a really special day for me.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe must use technology to achieve the SDGs we have set and make the world that bit better\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It was special for us too. Valen, the reason for your visit was to show the students <\/strong>the app you\u2019ve developed to minimize risk during surgical procedures during volunteering missions.<\/strong><\/a> Do you think technology can help everyone to live a healthy life \u2013 something which forms part of the United Nations\u2019 2030 Agenda.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a great believer in technology and in using it in our daily lives. I think it can make our lives easier, within reason, and so I think there\u2019s a lot of potential for the use of technology in the healthcare field, as it gives us a reach which was not possible or was very difficult before, as this app that we\u2019ve developed for volunteering missions shows.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also think that we have to ensure that technology works for us, rather than the other way around. And its effect must be felt everywhere in the world, rather than in just a few lucky places.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, yes. As you said, we must use technology to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, that we have set ourselves and, by doing so, make the world that bit better. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
