About the ZeDTech Summit (Launch Conference)
The ZeDTech Summit will mark the official launch of the ZeDTech Network and bring together a vibrant, interdisciplinary community from across the UK - including researchers, tech developers, clinicians, industry partners, third sector organisations, carers, and people with lived experience of dementia.
Our mission is to accelerate the development of zero-burden, sustainable technologies that support independent living with dementia. We connect people and organisations across the UK to share knowledge, co-produce meaningful solutions, and test innovations in real-world settings. At the heart of ZeDTech is a commitment to technologies that fit seamlessly into everyday life - reducing disruption while enhancing care, communication, and wellbeing.
The Summit will feature dynamic sessions exploring:
The current landscape of technology in dementia care
Key gaps and opportunities for future research
Funding pathways for dementia-focussed technologies
Public and professional involvement
Industry and start-up perspectives on technology development
