KEP Project
Welcome to the KEP Care in Business Project
The Knowledge Exchange Project (KEP) ‘Care in Business’ brings together academia, business, carers, carer organisations and older people to create a vision of care and explore how new assistive living technologies and emerging trends in the ICT sector can be exploited innovatively to meet care needs.
This project was developed because integrated solutions are needed across sectors to maintain older people’s independence and quality of life, and in turn support the role of remote carers. To date, ICT and carers’ sectors have had limited opportunity to work together and learn from each other about evolving trends in their fields. ‘Care in Business’ is facilitating these much needed cross-disciplinary exchanges by bringing together relevant stakeholders through a series of seminars.
The project is led by Swansea University in partnership with Bangor, Cardiff, Glamorgan and Glyndŵr Universities and has been supported by EU convergence funding.
