Creative entrepreneurs invited to digital health + care innovation conference
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 1 May 2015
Entrepreneurs from the music and creative industries are being invited to join an event later this month exploring how digital platforms and technologies can contribute to long term healthcare.
It’s part of an Innovate UK-led initiative called the Long Term Care Revolution which is encouraging individuals and companies to come up with innovative digital solutions to enable older adults to stay in their own homes, rather than an institutional setting, including apps and tools that are focused on mental wellbeing.
This may include digital platforms that could facilitate music and creative therapies, and Innovate UK hope that the event will bring together tech, business, creative and healthcare minds who might be able to collaborate on new ideas and bring them to life.
The conference will also put the focus on funding opportunities in this domain, including a £4 million Innovate UK grant fund, and people with existing ides can submit their proposal online with the chance to win a year’s mentoring from NatWest.
The Long Term Care Revolution takes place in London on 12 and 13 May. There is no charge for admission – it’s by invitation only – you can find more information and register to attend online here.
