DigiFest22 Satellite Sessions
DigiFest22 combined a programme of free-to-attend virtual and in-person satellite sessions taking place from October onwards. The satellite sessions were coordinated by the Steering Group members and other stakeholders in the Scottish digital health, housing, and care ecosystem.
The purpose of these sessions was to provide the time and space to explore and discuss the opportunities and the challenges for digitally enabled solutions in health and home settings. The session topics set out below reflect current priorities relating digital health, housing, and care from: policy, service delivery, industry, and research perspectives.
These sessions were thematically linked to the one-day (in-person) event on Wednesday the 30th of November 2022, held at the University of Strathclyde, Technology & Innovation Centre, Glasgow.
The event on 30 November also featured a poster exhibition. Successful posters are accessible here.
