Friday morning saw Professor Mark Hawley's appearance on the Pete Morgan at Breakfast show on BBC West Midlands radio. Mark was on the programme to talk about the use of technology to help older people live more independently at home. This was in response to Birmingham City Council announcing that they were trying to reduce the number of older people going into care homes and wanting more people to be cared for in their own homes.
The interview can be heard through this link with a longer interview at approximately 35 minutes. Discussions on the use of telecare and more generally about people who receive care in their own homes can be heard throughout the programme.
...combines the expertise of three research groups at the University of Sheffield: Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology Group (RAT Group), the Centre for Assistive Technology and Connected Healthcare (CATCH) and the Telehealth and Care Technologies theme of CLAHRC YH (http://clahrc-yh.nihr.ac.uk/)
