Scaling Support Without Scaling Headcount – Edmund Optics’ AI Chatbot Success with Matillion

2025-10-09
session

This session features Richard Lewis, Senior Solution Architect at Matillion, in conversation with Daniel Adams, Global Analytics Manager, from Edmund Optics, as they share how data integration, AI, and cloud technologies transformed technical support and accelerated time to value. Edmund Optics’ team of 50 highly skilled engineers faced a flood of repetitive technical inquiries, averaging 25 minutes per response, across a catalog of 34,000+ components. To streamline support, they partnered with Matillion, Snap Analytics, and Snowflake to build an AI-powered chatbot.

Addressing the Social Determinants of Health: Collaboration with Social Care and NHS

2025-10-09
session

How Local Authorities and the NHS can partner to improve healthcare, prevention and digital outcomes.

How do healthcare and Local Authorities come together to deliver the ambitions of the NHS’ 10 Year Health Plan and the Fairer Westminster Strategy to deliver on health inequality? Focusing on fairer communities, fairer housing, fairer economy, fairer environment. The NHS’ 10 Year Health Plan aims to tackle health inequalities by addressing social determinants of health, improving healthcare provision, and fostering multi-agency collaboration within Integrated Care Systems. While the plan recognises the importance of prevention and digital transformation, some experts highlight risks like widening digital inequality and a lack of systemic funding commitments for the deep changes needed to truly reduce health disparities and the impact of poverty on health outcomes.

This session discusses how local authorities and the NHS can partner to improve healthcare prevention and digital transformation.
