Yesterday at DHI RCE’s Demonstration & Simulation Environment, we proudly hosted our Living Lab 4 Smart Housing Smart Communities workshop, bringing together local health, social care, and housing professionals.

The session centered around the work the RCE and fellow partnerships are doing to develop an innovative technology enabled care pathway through the analogue to digital telecare opportunity, and how this shift from a reactive to proactive and preventative service to support individuals to live safely and independently in their own homes.

It was encouraging to see strong engagement from professionals across the sector, eager to collaborate on improving independent living through technology across Moray.

Thanks to everyone who attended the workshop yesterday!
