As part of
the Economic and Social Science Research Councils (ESRC) Festival of Social Science, the Centre
for Assistive Technology and Connected Healthcare (CATCH) held a free, public event called Techno Therapies. The event was an
afternoon of exciting talks, demonstrations and debates showcasing current
healthcare technologies that can be used to improve or help maintain people’s
mental health and well-being, the importance of design in digital
health.
Following on
from the event and drawing on the presentations from the day, Dr Katherine
Easton has collaborated with Inkwell Creative Arts Media, a volunteer led
enterprise offering media solutions and services, to produce a short animation
that explores the use of technology in mental health.
Dr Easton
from CATCH explains the intentions behind the film “The aim really is to make research
accessible. Explain to the public what it is we (at the University) are trying
to achieve with the research that we do. I would love to see more interaction
between members of the public, health services, industry and academia, working
together to create products and services that meet user’s needs”.
