Sheffield IoT Meetup focuses on IoT for connected care during Covid-19
10/06/20
Our health and social care sectors are facing enormous challenges at the present time with Covid-19. This is against a backdrop of ongoing efforts to increase the rate of technology adoption, whilst ensuring patient safety and data security. This month’s Sheffield IoT meetup focused on what can be done to effect change, through embracing collaboration, innovation and of course IoT!
The event showcased a range of speakers including TÜV SÜD, Sheffield Hallam University, InVMA, the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre (AWRC), Tended, ELucid mHealth, Caburn Solutions and the Pitch-In team. Talks covered both the opportunities and challenges during the current crisis, as well as longer term innovation and adoption of IoT technologies across the healthcare sector.
For this, our second online event, again we had a mixed audience, including industry representatives, researchers, technologists and enablers – with attendees joining from across the UK to participate.
A recording of the presentations is available below (see timings to jump to relevant sections).
