Event Details

The event will feature talks from researchers and people who are using new technologies, and also a showcase with some examples for you to experience. Come and discover what the future holds, and explore ways to get involved yourself.

Timed to coincide with the development of the Health Innovation Campus (HIC) in Bailrigg, we all see amazing examples of technology designed to support our health featured on news programmes or TV documentaries, and we are aware that developments in such technologies are happening very fast. But what impact could they have on us as individuals, how do we know what’s useful and what we could do without, and more importantly, how could we get hold of the best of it and use it to support our ability to stay well and independent into older age? At Lancaster University, we work closely with external partners researching into a range of topics– from detecting changes in your everyday movements that could mean you are at risk of a fall, to helping you monitor your memory or fitness, to supporting care and companionship and to enabling links to your family and friends or GP.
