Health Technologies: Swansea Bay City Deal
2 months ago
Funding providers: FMHLS Scholarship (Swansea Bay City Deal (SBCD) Digital Infrastructure Project)
Subject areas: Gerontechnology, Digital Health, Ageing Well
Project start date:
- 1 October 2024 (Enrolment open from mid-June)
Aligned programme of study: PhD in Health Technologies
Project description:
The EOCARE-5F initiative aims to transform older adult care by developing innovative, low-maintenance wearable devices optimised for 5G connectivity. To overcome the impracticalities of expecting older adults to carry mobile devices continuously, the project focuses on creating user-friendly wearables that can be "fit-and-forget." These devices are to function without daily charging and minimal user interaction, leveraging cutting-edge 5G infrastructure to provide real-time data on essential health metrics like gait analysis and fall detection. The potential to directly transmit this data to healthcare providers can enable immediate interventions, enhancing the safety and well-being of older adults.
Research Question:
How can we design and implement 5G-enabled wearable technology to support continuous health monitoring and improve the well-being of older adults?
Objectives:
- Collaboratively design the wearable technology with input from older adults to ensure usability and acceptance.
- Engineer wearables that integrate seamlessly with 5G networks, emphasizing sustainability and low user burden.
- Rigorously test the technology in real-world settings to validate its effectiveness and user engagement.
Expected Outcome and Impact:
EOCARE-5F aims to deliver a scalable, user-friendly solution that supports the independence of older adults while reducing the burden on NHS resources. The project aims to enhance the quality of life for this demographic by improving health outcomes and ensuring safety through proactive data monitoring and immediate healthcare responses.
