SUMMARY:IN-PERSON: Intelligent Systems and Robotics in Health and Social Care: Interactive Workshop for Industry
DESCRIPTION:The EPSRC funded EMERGENCE Healthcare Technologies Network+\, led by Prof. Praminda Caleb-Solly\, would like to invite representatives from healthcare technology focused SMEs to attend an interactive workshop about intelligent and robotic systems in health and social care. \nThe EMERGENCE network aims to create\, foster and facilitate co-designed\, co-delivered and impactful research to accelerate the realisation of healthcare robotic technology as pragmatic and sustainable solutions for personalised\, affordable and inclusive assessment\, self-management and reduction of frailty. \nEnsuring that healthcare professionals\, such as carers and therapists\, are able to set up and proficiently use the technology is vital for enabling them to make effective use of emerging solutions enabled by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotic technology.  As part of the 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. \nThis workshop will provide companies who develop healthcare technologies with an understanding of what we 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. \nRefreshments and lunch will be provided\, free of charge. \nMore information\, including the draft agenda for the event and details of how to register to attend can be found on the EMERGENCE website: (https://www.emergencerobotics.net/events-and-network-activities/intelligent-systems-and-robotics-in-health-social-care) \nIf you have any questions about this event\, please do not hesitate to email the network – emergence@nottingham.ac.uk
