Exploring the impact of digital technologies on health and wellbeing outcomes

该项目与汉普郡议会合作，将研究数字技术对使用服务的人及其照顾者（有偿和无偿）的健康和福祉的影响。成人社会护理部门正面临着与护理和资源供需不平衡有关的重大挑战。数字技术有可能帮助人们在自己的家中生活得更好；减轻有偿和无偿护理人员的负担；防止需求升级。先进的数据分析将用于利用地方当局、保健提供者、其他法定服务和技术监测服务收集的相关数据，探索数字技术在这些领域的影响。成功的学生将受益于卓越的研究环境，与新的ESRC护理中心密切合作，并有广泛的机会与整个护理部门的非学术合作伙伴和广泛的发展机会计划进行接触。

Working in collaboration with Hampshire County Council, this project will examine the impact of digital technologies on the health and wellbeing of people using services and their carers (both paid and unpaid). The adult social care sector is facing significant challenges related to the imbalance between the demand for and supply of care and resources. Digital technology has the potential to support people to live well in their own homes; ease the burden on paid and unpaid carers; and prevent the escalation of need. Advanced data analytics will be used to explore the impact of digital technologies in these areas using linked data collected by local authorities, health providers, other statutory services and technology monitoring services. The successful student will benefit from an exceptional research environment, working closely with the new ESRC Centre for Care with extensive opportunities to engage with non-academic partners across the care sector and an extensive programme of development opportunities.
