Care homes: How can data and technology impact the lives of vulnerable patients?
Details
The recent report by the Care Quality Commission illustrates that some users of care homes are receiving poor care.

I'd like to host an event where we establish a dialogue between the people involved in care homes and the tech community to understand how data, design and technology could be used to help provide excellent care for every resident of a care home in the UK. What would we need to do to setup a data driven care home where data collected from sensors and devices could prevent the lapses in care identified in the report?
