SEHTA, the GLA & LondonADASS would like to invite you to attend this FREE workshop in our series of events – London MedTech Connects. This time around we are building bridges between London healthtech and digital SMEs and providers of social care in London through LondonADASS (London Boroughs of Adult Social Services Directors).

We are looking for new ways of helping to look after people with long-term conditions in their place of residence more efficiently and effectively. We are especially interested in:

• potential smartcare solution(s) to manage people in a environment of their choice independently (especially those diagnosed with dementia)

Who should attend:

• London based SMEs involved in SmartCare Solutions
• Commissioners and public sector providers for health & care with an interest in managing long-term conditions in the elderly
• Researchers in universities and other institutions, who are actively involved in projects involving developing solutions to long-term care challenges

As part of the workshop, there is an opportunity to have pre-arranged 1:1 session(s) with the speakers & LondonADASS delegates. 15 mins slots are available to book at registration. This is an opportunity for SMEs to meet with commissioners of social care and their representatives to discuss their requirements.

This event is being organised jointly by SEHTA & LondonADASS and is part of the MedTech London programme which is supported by the GLA.

Please note that places are limited and subject to review based on application and London-focus. Confirmation of your place will be sent by 1st February at the latest.

The inaugural LondonADASS Dementia Awareness Event set out to tackle:

• Increasing awareness of dementia across generations
• Increasing awareness of dementia within care homes
• Issues stemming from Delayed Transfers of Care (DToC)
• How to meet the training needs of the social care workforce; and
• Increasing awareness amongst the general population

Dementia Awareness Week is supported by the Alzheimer’s Society. The Alzheimer’s Society is a UK charity which provides support and research for those affected by dementia.

In the UK, there are about 800,000 people with dementia; it is estimated that around 400,000 people have dementia but do not know it. By raising awareness about this condition, it is hoped that more people will be diagnosed earlier, giving more time for them to come to terms with future symptoms.

Focused on:

• Dementia Metrics project
• Setting the scene including Dementia Friendly Technology Charter
• Connected Care and Connected Health
• Alcove Approach – selected case studies
• App supporting Care Staff dealing with Challenging Behaviours
