About
We are looking for up to 15 Voice members to take part in an informal, interactive workshop with businesses and suppliers to explore the current challenges and opportunities for the development of an Internet of Caring Things market in the North of Tyne region.
Together, Voice members and businesses will share insights and design ideas about care and data driven technologies that will help us all live our lives the way we want to and to care about ourselves and the people, places and things that are important to us (e.g. family and friends, pets, gardens, our communities, and our planet).
The Internet of Caring Things (IoCT) is a programme created to support businesses and economic growth across the North of Tyne region. Our aim is to understand and leverage the opportunities related to the growing Internet of Things market, dedicated to helping older people live better and healthier lives and stay more connected to their support network: from family members to pets.
The Caring Things sector refers to connected devices and services that aid consumers’ most important needs, such as physical and mental wellbeing, safety, security, and connecting with loved ones.
