An invitation to rethink how wearables and AI can assist in low resource healthcare.
In this talk, Stephen Friend will propose a way of using smartphones and wearable technology to help in the care of those with chronic conditions, such as Parkinson’s, diabetes, arthritis, and dementia. Stephen suggests giving those suffering from these conditions the chance to pause, reflect and share, in order to build a system of guidance and support based on direct objective data with insights by and for each other. When augmented by an AI approach, this data could enable the forecasting of symptom changes for individuals and offer health guidance that rests on empowerment. This approach is well suited to the care of those with chronic conditions in the UK, and in very low resource areas worldwide.
The talk will be followed by a Q&A session and a complimentary drinks reception.#

About the Turing
The Alan Turing Institute, headquartered in the British Library, London, was created as the national institute for data science in 2015. In 2017, as a result of a government recommendation, we added artificial intelligence to our remit.
The Institute is named in honour of Alan Turing (23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954), whose pioneering work in theoretical and applied mathematics, engineering and computing are considered to be the key disciplines comprising the fields of data science and artificial intelligence.
