HEAT 2004 - The Home and Electronic Assistive Technology
16-17th March 2004, King's Manor, University of York
A DIRC Workshop
***Registration for the HEAT 2004 workshop is now open***
If Electronic Assistive Technology (EAT) is to increase the independence
and quality of life for people with disabilities and the elderly, it must
be dependable, performing exactly as expected whenever it is called upon.
The technology also needs to be designed and installed so that it is
actually used, and it must answer the real needs and wishes of its users.
The HEAT workshop is intended to foster dialogue and debate between people
involved with all aspects of EAT in the home. These will include (but are
not limited to) people with disabilities and the elderly and their
representatives; carers; social services staff; occupational therapists;
health trust workers; (integrated) community equipment stores
representatives; systems developers (including designers and installers);
care home providers, and researchers.
Full details of the workshop including the programme, and how to register
