Technology and inclusivity

In the current Health and Social Care system, the NHS needs to make better use of information and technology, if it is to meet the demands of an ageing population with increasingly expensive treatment requirements. In this month's Technology Pages, Jo Yaldren and Matthew Van Loo explore the issue of inclusivity as it relates to technology-enhanced care and learning. The themes of digital literacy, autonomy, competence and confidence will be considered, and the cultural and organisational context of this wide-scale change will be highlighted.
