Tenants of Leach Court in Kemp Town, °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ, have volunteered to trial digital technologies including smart medication dispensers, activity monitors, and falls detectors which are carried with them or are built into their homes.
It is hoped the data will help the individual and also their families and their GPs.
Specialists from the universities of °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ and Sussex joined professionals from °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ and Hove City Council, NHS °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ and Hove Clinical Commissioning Group and Kent, and Surrey & Sussex Academic Health Science Network to explain the aims of the ‘Living Laboratory’ project to Leach Court residents.
The project is being led by Dr Theo Fotis, Principal Lecturer in health sciences at the University of °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ, who is working with Dr Anand Sundaralingam, Darzi Fellow at the University.
