On 5 March 2025 we brought together digital technology providers with people who plan, use and provide social care for the first North Wales Digital Social Care Showcase. The event was funded by sponsorship from technology companies like Synanetics. It was a great success with spaces to connect and reflect about how we use digital technology and try things out for ourselves.
Workshops included:
- Tips for using everyday technologies to help you live the way you choose.
- How to co-design a bespoke care solution using everyday smart technologies.
- Mobile phone apps that you can use to help improve your health and well-being.
- How to help your organisation and your staff get ready for a digital future.
- A chance to see and try out medication management gadgets to support people to take their medication on time.
Around 190 people attended on the day, in addition to speakers, exhibitors and organisers. People told us their main highlights were networking, hearing from people with learning disabilities about their experiences, demos and user experience stories, the WLGA presentation, workshops and exhibitions. We have also started mapping the ripple effects from the event, which includes improved relationships between partners for facilitating digital innovation and support to take forward innovative ideas.
