项目摘要

The new Industrial Strategy: Building a Britain fit for the future identified "Ageing Society" as one of 4 Grand Challenges, each representing a focal point for investment to secure the prosperity of British industry by addressing real-world problems. In line with the preference of older people and their carers to age in place, and current policy guidance, the proposed research will involve collaboration with industry partners to help them address challenges in the implementation and uptake of new technologies to support sustainable arrangements for ageing in place capable of delivering wellbeing outcomes for older people. The Fellowship aligns with 4 "Pillars" of the Industrial Strategy: Pillar 1 - Investing in Science, Research and Innovation. The Fellow's innovative research focuses on innovations to address the Ageing Society Grand Challenge and aims to strengthen the role of UK expertise (in services, universities, innovation) in the global market for digital care products in ICTs, 'new generation' telecare products, and robotics. Pillar 3 - Upgrading Infrastructure. The digitisation of care has reconfigured approaches to care interactions, but current care UK infrastructure requires upgrading to take full advantage of innovations in this area. Pillar 5 - Improving Procurement. At present, procurement of care technologies relies heavily on local authorities and NHS Trusts. The research will explore how the rapidly emerging private care consumer market is influencing supply chains and its potential to drive innovation. Pillar 8 - Cultivating World-Leading Sectors. The UK's past role in developing new care technologies positions its innovators and universities to benefit from, and play a lead role in, the increasingly competitive global market for care technologies and services. The Fellow will examine challenges, benefits and possibilities for businesses and organisations designing and producing new technologies to support ageing in place. He will work closely with industry and non-academic partners to help them identify their needs and future potential, collaborating with six organisations which have already been recruited to the study and with others to be identified during the lifetime of the Fellowship. The research will focus on case examples of promising innovations. These will include companies developing various potentially transformative solutions, including assistive robotic systems capable of enhancing quality of life as people age; emotionally engaging and useful robot solutions for use in the homes of older people; and other technologies offering different kinds of modern care solutions attractive or useful to older people requiring care and those who provide their support (carers and care workers). The specific focus of each case will be selected in consultation with partners and through stakeholder interviews/desk research. Bespoke research techniques will be chosen, for their applicability to each case example and suitability to address research questions agreed with partners. A key issue will be to examine how suppliers of innovative products and services identify business development opportunities and access care markets. The research will include expert interviews, focused observations (in visits to the premises of partners) and analysis of documents. Methods will be qualitative (e.g. in-depth interviews, focus groups) and quantitative (e.g. surveys/analyses of company data), as applicable; the Fellow will identify/engage other stakeholders to take part if appropriate. The findings will show how innovators, manufacturers and suppliers view/approach challenges in the technology-enabled care market. The Fellow will work with them to discover and implement new approaches to marketing and developing sustainable products for successful ageing in place, making information available to future start-ups entering the care technology marketplace in a new industry-focused toolkit.

新的工业战略：建设一个适应未来的英国将“老龄化社会”确定为四大挑战之一，每个挑战都代表着投资的焦点，通过解决现实世界的问题来确保英国工业的繁荣。根据老年人及其照顾者对就地养老的偏好和目前的政策指导，拟议的研究将涉及与行业伙伴合作，帮助他们应对在实施和采用新技术方面的挑战，以支持能够为老年人带来福祉的可持续老龄化安排。该奖学金与产业战略的4个“支柱”相一致：支柱1--投资于科学、研究和创新。该研究员的创新研究专注于应对老龄化社会重大挑战的创新，旨在加强英国专业知识(在服务、大学、创新)在全球市场上的作用，这些产品包括信息通信技术、新一代远程护理产品和机器人技术中的数字护理产品。支柱3--提升基础设施。护理的数字化重新配置了护理互动的方法，但目前的英国护理基础设施需要升级，以充分利用这一领域的创新。支柱5--改进采购。目前，护理技术的采购在很大程度上依赖于地方当局和NHS信托基金。这项研究将探索快速崛起的私人护理消费市场如何影响供应链及其推动创新的潜力。支柱8--培育世界领先的部门。英国过去在开发新护理技术方面的角色使其创新者和大学能够从竞争日益激烈的全球护理技术和服务市场中受益并发挥主导作用。这位研究员将研究企业和组织设计和生产新技术以支持就地老龄化的挑战、好处和可能性。他将与业界和非学术合作伙伴密切合作，帮助他们确定自己的需求和未来的潜力，与已经被招募参加这项研究的六个组织以及在奖学金有效期内有待确定的其他组织合作。研究将集中在有前途的创新的案例例子上。这些将包括公司开发各种潜在的变革性解决方案，包括能够随着年龄的增长提高生活质量的辅助机器人系统；用于老年人家中的情感上吸引人的有用的机器人解决方案；以及其他技术，提供对需要护理的老年人和为他们提供支持的人(护理者和护理人员)具有吸引力或有用的不同类型的现代护理解决方案。将与合作伙伴协商并通过与利益攸关方的面谈/案头研究来选择每个案件的具体重点。将选择定制的研究技术，因为它们适用于每个案例，并适合于解决与合作伙伴商定的研究问题。一个关键问题将是审查创新产品和服务的供应商如何识别商业发展机会和进入护理市场。研究将包括专家访谈、重点观察(在访问合作伙伴的房舍时)和分析文件。方法将是定性的(例如深入访谈、焦点小组)和定量的(例如对公司数据的调查/分析)；研究员将在适当的情况下确定/邀请其他利益攸关方参与。调查结果将显示创新者、制造商和供应商如何看待/应对技术支持的护理市场中的挑战。这位研究员将与他们合作，发现和实施营销和开发可持续产品的新方法，以实现成功老龄化，向未来进入护理技术市场的初创企业提供信息，提供一个新的行业重点工具包。
