25 - 26 November 2013, London, UK.This year's conference will focus on how technology can help people to age well. It will cover a wide palate of issues including both physical and mental conditions, and the importance of social and spiritual considerations too. For recognised conditions, the conference will address recent developments in the use of technology, such as telecare and telehealth, to help improve disease management and encourage patients to take greater responsibility for their conditions. Equally important though is the environment for older people, so the conference will address how the same technology can also assist with supporting and enhancing the social and spiritual lives of users. To do this, presentations will not only cover the technology per se, but also the specific needs that technology should be seeking to address. Key leaders will share best practice and solutions and there will be plenty of opportunity to feedback opinion.
Key objectives for the conference are to:
- Give concrete examples of how technology can help manage physical and mental diseases
- Demonstrate the importance of also recognising the social and spiritual needs of patients and show how technology can assist with satisfying these needs
- Engage clinicians
- Engage patients and their carers
- Demonstrate improved financial outcomes for the whole healthcare system
- Reinforce the RSM's educational role for new healthcare technologies
Early bird fees expiry on Monday 28 October 2013.
