Dr Jack
Parker presented the SMART research ‘SMART
1 & 2: Technology for self-management and self-managed rehabilitation’
at the Royal Society of Medicine.
This event organised by the Royal
Society of Medicine in association with the Action for Rehabilitation from
Neurological Injury Institute aimed to enable attendees to learn more about
innovative technological applications for augmenting stroke recoveries.
The symposium was attended by a European assembly
of research-active scientists, clinicians and practitioners and importantly,
40% of the attendees were stroke survivors. A number of presentations explained
and demonstrated leading edge developments in neural imaging and stimulation
techniques as well as assistive technologies for stroke survivors and how
acceleration in the place of technological advances holds a significant part of
the key to better future recoveries.
Speakers included Professor Alan Roberts,
former Vice President of the Royal Society of Medicine and Pro Chancellor of
the University of Leeds; The Right Hon, The Lord Lingfield, Pro Chancellor of
Brunel University; and Mr Andrew Marr the former BBC political editor and
current host of the BBC Andrew Marr show.
