Finding ways to help people live longer in their own homes is increasingly seen as an urgent priority.
Featuring speakers from Bristol Community Health and Designability, as well as special guests from Denmark to talk about their Living Labs concept, this event will explore the role of technology to support health and social care professionals to help people to care for themselves in their homes.
Who should attend?

Denmark is often cited as a model in the development of home and community-based systems for the frail elderly population and thought leaders in developing the ‘commune’ approach to integrated care and community resilience. Speakers from the world leading care technology cluster in Odense in Southern Denmark will join us to share their methods and experiences with us.
