In partnership with Hft (formally known as Home Farm Trust) Devon County Council and its NHS partners, are holding an awareness raising event for technology enabled care and support. You can read about last year’s successful event here.

You are invited to come and visit the Smarthouse created and hosted by Hft. The Smarthouse is an interactive flat showcasing some of the most innovative technology available that can support and enable people to live independently and safely.

Each session is available to everybody and will consist of a tour of the Hft Smarthouse led by Hft’s Personalised Technology Team, who have a wealth of experience in assessing for, installing and supporting the use of technology. After the tour you will be able to visit a range of stalls and talk to expert facilitators. You will have the opportunity to try out some of technology available, hear how it works in practice and ask any questions.

You will receive notification of the venue at least a week before the event.

* Please note that all sessions are subject to demand and may be cancelled if not enough attendees are confirmed.
