An interactive workshop for industry to explore the challenges for deployment of intelligent systems for frailty. 

About this event 

The EPSRC funded EMERGENCE Healthcare Technologies Network+ are hosting an interactive workshop for companies and organisations involved in the development of intelligent and robotic systems for frailty. 

Ensuring that healthcare professionals, such as carers and therapists, are able to set up and proficiently use the technology is vital for enabling the effective use of emerging solutions enabled by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotic technology. As part of our work package on future care workforce skills for integration of healthcare robotics into care we have been identifying gaps and requirements for these technologies from the perspective of healthcare professionals. 

This workshop will provide companies who develop healthcare technologies with an understanding of what we have learnt regarding these gaps, facilitating a hands-on approach to reflective thinking on how this learning could be incorporated to improve and develop technologies so that they are more easily adopted by healthcare professionals.

During the workshop, participants will:

• Review current thinking on existing technology 

• Co-design use cases and potential solutions 

• Gain hands-on exploration of sensors and robots in a living lab 

• Consider risks, ethical issues and CPD requirements
