We warmly invite all colleagues involved in delivering dementia support services or interested in digital inclusion to hear our progress so far as we develop a solution to help people living with dementia engage digitally.

About LOTI and the Digital Inclusion Innovation Programme

The London Office of Technology and Innovation (LOTI) is supporting London’s Digital Access Mission for all, which has a goal for “Every Londoner to have access to good connectivity, basic digital skills and the device or support they need to be online by 2025.”

As part of this mission, the GLA and LOTI have launched The Digital Inclusion Innovation Programme (DIIP) which will discover, design, develop and scale initiatives that support digitally excluded Londoners who have been left particularly vulnerable during the Covid pandemic.

What will be covered in this Show and Tell

Since the first Show and Tell, the team from the Helix Centre, part of Imperial College London, have developed a Digital Befriending Kit to be piloted with people living with dementia. In this session they will provide an overview of the product and the testing and iteration carried out so far, and their plans for the pilot. For the latest on this project please visit the LOTI website.

Please share the invite with colleagues who might find this useful.

We look forward to seeing you there!
