Course Overview
Technology has revolutionised the way we live our lives.
The expansion of technology into health and social care has been slow, due to complex organisational and commissioning issues. However, telehealth and telecare are increasingly recognised as effective methods of delivering patient-centered care within the context of an ageing population, rising incidence of long-term conditions and uncertainties around health and social care funding.
This short course, run by researchers based in the Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology group in ScHARR, will take you through how telehealth and telecare work, and their benefits. There will be a practical hands-on session and talks from guest speakers which will give you an insight into using such systems, both from the healthcare professional and patient point of view. Issues around implementation will help you to understand some key issues around use of technology within healthcare.
