Technologies for Brain Health and Dementia Prevention Workshop.

Date and time
Mon, 13 Jun 2022, 09:00 – Tue, 14 Jun 2022, 17:00 BST

Location

Innovative technologies that support and enhance brain health are growing as fast as the changing needs of those with dementia. Scotland is a hub of technological innovation. We therefore have the knowledge, experience and expertise among us to leverage this wealth of innovation to support those affected by dementia, or are at risk of developing the condition.

For this reason, the SDRC and DHI are organizing the Technologies for Brain Health and Dementia Prevention workshop to bring together the communities involved in such innovation. This workshop will allow communication and ideas exchange among people from different disciplines, perspectives and career stages.

We will discuss ideas of how supportive technologies can best meet the needs of people affected by dementia. We also want to encourage discussions on theories and applications of emerging technologies with an emphasis on brain health.

Our next Digital Mental Health Innovation Cluster Event takes place on Wednesday 22 June, 0900-1200.

Following the successful launch event on 10 March, we are in the process of planning the subsequent session to continue the excellent conversations and discussions which took place during the inaugural launch.

A recording of this session is available on Scotland’s Digital Mental Health Innovation Cluster website.

Programme confirmation and registration details will be made available on this website soon.

In the meantime please ensure you have Joined our network to receive updated information.
