Personalised Technology – Making it work

About the conference: Technology is increasingly being used to deliver services. However, it is also increasingly becoming the individual's right to choose how they are supported and whether or which technology should be used. This then becomes personalised technology that encompasses all technology platforms including high and low tech devices. This conference, focusing on case studies, will explore the wider context from ethics, individual rights, policy initiatives and practice.
