Digital technologies: Enhancers or disrupters of good social care?
This session has been organised in collaboration with DECIDE (Digitally Enabled Care in Diverse Environments), an NIHR-funded centre for rapid evaluation of technology-enabled remote monitoring in health and care settings. The panel will outline the current policy landscape underpinning the digital shift in care services, describing a remote monitoring initiative in care homes by the local authority and Integrated Care Board for falls prevention, and the development of remote monitoring services to support independent living that DECIDE is evaluating nationally. We will then discuss the framing of these technologies in relation to how people define ‘good care’, relating to previous work undertaken within the Care Initiative.

This hybrid event is run by Green Templeton’s long-running Care Initiative, led by Professor Mary Daly.

The talk will be followed by drinks in the Stables Bar.
