Telehealth Industry meets Health Communities – MALT Project Dissemination Event

The MALT project (Overcoming the Barriers to Mainstreaming Assisted Living Technologies) team ran their first regional dissemination event on Monday 30^th September in Sheffield. The Telehealth Industry meets Health Communities event was an opportunity to bring together telehealth commercial and NHS staff from the four Yorkshire and Humber research sites to learn about and discuss the preliminary research findings.

The event saw presentations from the RAT group’s very own Jo Nicholson, as well as Praveen Thokala from the Health Economics & Decision Science section of ScHARR. The MALT team collaborators from the Socio-Technical Centre at University of Leeds and the Advanced Digital Institute were also out in force on the day.

Presentation slides from the day and more information about the project are available from the MALT website. Alternatively, you can contact Lizzie Coates the MALT study manager (e.coated@sheffield.ac.uk) or tweet @MALT_YH

The final MALT conference is planned for 30^th September 2014. More information to follow next year.
