In March, Monika Benson participated in a meeting of the Boston Scientific Foundation Europe (BSFE), which convened her fellow Board members and Ambassador representatives from across Europe. The two-day meeting was filled with purpose and enthusiasm, focusing on upskilling the Ambassadors to enable them to effectively fulfil their roles with support from Monika sharing her expertise to guide them in best practices when working with patient advocacy groups. Held at the Centre Pédiatrique des Côtes in France, a rehabilitation hospital for disabled children with cardiac problems, the attendees had the chance to see first-hand how a digital health solution could have a life-changing impact. The BSFE-sponsored augmented communication tool uses eye-recognition software to give a voice to children who previously did not have the ability to communicate.

BSFE is a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping communities improve their health and well-being by supporting innovative digital health solutions. They are passionate about the ability for digital solutions to reduce health inequalities by enabling people to access health information and resources to better manage their health and care. The Dystonia Physio Exercise Hub is a great example of this, now assisting almost 500 people with cervical dystonia across Europe!
