Technology in care: balancing benefits and challenges

March 19 at 11:30 am - 12:30 pm

Introducing new technologies like virtual reality and social robots in long-term care brings both opportunities and challenges. While these tools can enhance engagement, emotional support and wellbeing, they also raise ethical and practical concerns such as access, staff training and resident acceptance. This presentation shares useful insights and discusses practical tips from real-world examples on how technology can be used effectively and responsibly in everyday care.
