Abstract

This #EngShort by the IET looks at the impacts of COVID-19 on #carehomes and #communitycare and the potential of #digitalinnovations to help. Care homes and older people have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic with many lives lost and some care homes at risk of closure. If we take advantage of engineering and technological innovations, can we improve our health and wellbeing?  

Find out more on this subject in our webinar and blog: Digital transformation in social care
