Technological developments are the bedrock of the future of healthcare. One of the main challenges that technology face is to be inclusive of the needs of a diverse population, particularly those with developmental conditions.
It is important that technology is able to assimilate the complex health needs that are present in groups with neurodevelopmental challenges.
During this seminar, you'll be able to:
- Understand what challenges exist for technologies to develop in this cohort
- Use four successful examples of developing technology to outline where solutions can be found
- Discuss using examples of how to measure and embed technological interventions safely in clinical pathways focused on developmental issues
- Be inspired to understand and implement technological change
This webinar is available for on-demand viewing. The webinar recording will be available for registered delegates until Friday 6 August 2021. The link will be sent 24 hours after the registration is closed.
