The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), in collaboration with the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), is calling for applications to develop a NetworkPlus focused on the use and development of novel tools and technologies that help people with dementia live independently.
This initiative is designed to support NetworkPlus grants that develop technologies to help people transform their care and health to become more independent at home. Networks should explore and identify the pathways and barriers to implementing these tools and technologies within the health and care system. They should also examine how technologies can be integrated into the home and coordinate care with carers and health and social care professionals, where appropriate
The role of the NetworkPlus is to nurture research ideas among its members and facilitate the transfer of knowledge to a broader community. Networks are encouraged to collaborate with a range of project partners.
