An N+N Workshop to Develop Proposals for Research into the Implementation of Assistive Technology for People with Dementia.

这是一对由加拿大和英国研究人员参加的关于痴呆症患者辅助技术领域的N+N研讨会的提案。第一次讲习班将于2008年10月在加拿大多伦多举行，第二次讲习班将于2009年3月在巴斯举行。研讨会的目的是确定在自己的家中为痴呆症患者实施辅助技术的障碍是什么，然后为合作研究撰写建议以解决这些问题。将邀请来自学术界、地方当局、养老院和工业界的代表参加会议。聚集的联盟将具有广泛的专业知识，以确保能够处理从最初构想到正式和非正式护理提供者大规模采用的整个实施链。

From the Laboratory to the Living RoomThis is a proposal for a pair of N+N workshops attended by Canadian and UK researchers in the field of assistive technology for people with dementia. The first workshop will be held in Toronto, Canada in October 2008 and the second will be in Bath in March 2009. The aim of of the workshops is to identify what are the barriers to the implementation of assistive technology for people with dementia in their own homes, and then to write proposals for collaborative research to solve the problems.Delegates will be invited from academia, local authorities, care homes and industry. The gathered consortium will be broad in its expertise to ensure that it is able to address the whole of the implementation chain from initial idea through to large scale adoption by formal and informal care providers.
