How might we use smart data to improve the lives of customers to enable them to live safely and independently, for longer?
This four day sprint is taking place at Newcastle Racecourse. It may be of interest to Carers NHS workers, Gas / Electricity workers, IOT workers, Data whizz / technicians, vulnerable customer workers, people who are considered vulnerable or know someone who is considered to be vulnerable, supported housing workers and those who want to make a difference to the population.
We want to overcome the gaps and limitations of today's solutions using smart data from water & other services to enable customers to live in their homes for longer, that the carers are confident that they can have an early warning about changes to routine that could mean urgent care is required, or alternative actions be mobilised quickly.
