The SMART (Self Management supported by Assistive Rehabilitation and Telehealth Technologies) consortium develops technologies to help people to self-manage their long term conditions.
The film below shows SMART researchers working with patients, family members, clinicians and healthcare professionals to design a mobile based technology to help Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients self-manager their condition effectively.
For further details on the SMART Consortium, you can visit their website.
The SMART consortum has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) and the NIHR Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRC) for South Yorkshire.
...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/)
