SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Wearable Technology in Depression and Dementia
DESCRIPTION:What can wearable technology tell us about the everyday experiences of older people living with depression or dementia? Could continuously collected data reveal changes that conventional clinical assessments miss? \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods\, and ideas. \nIn this session\, Dr Ta-Wei Guu will explore how wearable technologies can be used to better understand behavioural patterns\, sleep disturbances\, and responses to treatment in older people experiencing depression and dementia. \nThe session will consider how data collected outside traditional clinical settings could provide a more continuous picture of changes in behaviour and health over time. Ta-Wei will also discuss plans to develop a technology-enabled longitudinal cohort\, using wearable technology to study ageing populations and investigate how patterns observed over months and years might inform future research and clinical practice. \nDr Ta-Wei Guu is a Consultant Psychiatrist and Assistant Professor based at CMUBH in Taiwan\, with an affiliation to the Institute of Psychiatry\, Psychology & Neuroscience at King’s College London. His work brings together psychiatry\, ageing research\, and digital technologies to explore new approaches to understanding mental health and dementia in later life. \nAttendees can expect a practical and research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Building Digital Maturity in Care Homes
DESCRIPTION:How well is technology embedded into everyday life in UK care homes? And what needs to change for digital approaches to genuinely support residents\, staff and services? \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods and ideas. \nIn this session\, Dr Maria Drummond will present work from Embedding Technology in Care Homes: Progress towards Digital Maturity (ETECH-DM)\, a 30-month mixed-methods study examining digital maturity in care homes across the UK. \nMaria will explore how technology is currently being used in everyday care home life\, the barriers and enablers influencing digital development\, and how technology could support person-centred care\, staff wellbeing and service delivery. Drawing on sociotechnical perspectives\, the project will work with the sector to co-design practical tools and guidance to help care homes navigate digital transformation. \nThe session will also introduce findings and learning from the project’s UK-wide survey of older adult care homes\, mapping digital infrastructure\, technology use\, workforce readiness\, leadership approaches and priorities for future development. \nMaria is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Glasgow and Team Leader for ENRICH Scotland\, which works to support research within care home settings and strengthen collaboration between researchers\, care home staff\, residents and families. \nAttendees can expect a practical and research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Why Communities Matter in Digital Health Research
DESCRIPTION:How do we make sure digital health research reflects the people it is intended to support? And what happens when communities are involved in research rather than simply being studied? \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods and ideas. \nIn this session\, Anisha Ramjuttun will explore the importance of public engagement and community involvement in digital health research. Drawing on their work within an NHS research study using technologies including sensors\, wearable devices and sleep mats to monitor people’s health in their own homes\, Anisha will consider how researchers can communicate this work and involve a wider range of communities in shaping it. \nThe session will draw on Anisha’s experience of community outreach across Surrey and working with lived experience groups. They will discuss the importance of making research understandable and relevant to different audiences\, building relationships beyond traditional research settings\, and creating opportunities for people to contribute their knowledge and experiences. \nAnisha is a Research Assistant at Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. Their work combines digital health research with public engagement\, with a particular interest in ensuring different communities have opportunities to understand\, participate in and influence research. \nAttendees can expect a practical and research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Outdoor Activities and Wellbeing in Dementia
DESCRIPTION:How can organised outdoor activities support the wellbeing of people living with dementia? And how does research change when people with dementia are collaborators rather than simply participants? \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods and ideas. \nIn this session\, Mason McLeod will present their PhD research exploring how engagement with organised outdoor activities shapes perceptions of wellbeing among people living with dementia in the Scottish Highlands. \nUsing Participatory Action Research (PAR)\, Mason places people living with dementia at the heart of their research. They work with a Lived Experience Advisory Panel to guide the project\, ensuring that the voices\, experiences and priorities of people with dementia inform how the research is designed and conducted. \nMason will also discuss their work with two organisations providing structured outdoor activities for people living with dementia. Through in-depth qualitative research\, these settings will form comparative case studies examining how participation in outdoor activities can influence wellbeing and the experience of living with dementia within rural communities. \nMason is a PhD student at the Centre for Rural Health Sciences at the University of the Highlands and Islands. Their research brings together dementia\, rural health\, outdoor activity and participatory approaches to explore wellbeing while championing the right of people living with dementia to be actively involved in research. \nAttendees can expect a practical and research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister
