BEGINS the event blurb: “Connected Places Catapult has launched a new programme to build a healthier future for the UK.
“The Homes for Healthy Ageing programme will draw on world-leading academic and industry research to match solutions from innovators with the insights and capabilities of local authorities and housing associations.
“To achieve this, the Connected Places Catapult are launching five testbeds over two phases that will enable location partners and UK innovators to trial and develop the most promising solutions to address national challenges in Healthy Ageing locally in community-centred, real-world scenarios.
“The learnings and outcomes will form the basis of a business case to encourage the built environment industry to integrate healthy ageing into their design thinking and business models.”
