The challenges presented by an ageing population and the continued rise in life style associated disease are well known. Digital healthcare is considered to offer significant potential in addressing these challenges for technology has been used in many fields of human endeavour to increase efficiency, quality and efficacy.
This unique conference aims to provide learning from outside of the statutory sector, focussing on the citizen as a consumer for by definition, consumers make choices.
Do we choose to be lonely, isolated or obese or to cope with our chronic mental or physical conditions alone and un-supported?
Have the needs of our population who find themselves in such circumstances been met?
Digital technology offers considerable potential to deliver affordable, effective and valued products and services to meet these growing needs. As the resources available to our state funded providers become stretched, existing levels of need will grow. As such, we are asking “what will the next-generation of effective consumer solutions look like?”
