Synopsis

The surge of baby boomers are entering their seventies. The implications for an already overloaded healthcare system are huge – and already, there’s a shortage of family caregivers – a situation which is only going to get more acute. So, what do we do?

The Technology of Caring is a new series that will explore the relationship between caregiver, patient, and technology. It’s an intimate look at the various ways technology aids our caregivers and the patients they look after. This series offers a unique opportunity to view the issues around ageing and technology, and the lives of people who stand to benefit from this new age of high tech innovation.
