Technology has an increasingly important role to play in rehabilitation where it can support skilled healthcare professionals, reduce hospital stays and improve engagement with rehabilitation programmes. The East Midlands is well placed to support growth in this sector with the new £70 million National Rehabilitation Centre due to open at Stanford Hall, Nottinghamshire in 2024 and three new EPSRC funded networks being launched in the region to support the development and adoption of rehabilitation technologies.
This session will provide you with an update on the vision and delivery of the National Rehabilitation Centre and explain how you can join and benefit from the three new NetworkPlus EPSRC funded initiatives. Members of these networks will be able to draw on the knowledge and expertise of academics, clinicians, industry and other stakeholders to develop new, disruptive technologies for rehabilitation including innovations in advanced materials, patient-specific devices and therapy, closed loop and autonomous systems, robotic solutions for healthcare as well as assisted living products and services.
