Andrew Hine: on the future of assistive technology 

Talking Shop Healthcare - Andrew Hine: on the future of assistive technology:

This is a really exciting time in terms of the use of technology to transform how care’s provided.


“The vast majority of healthcare systems actually are not set up to care, they’re set up to cure.”


And “in the twenty-first century the challenge is how we care for a growing elderly population with a big burden of chronic disease? We will do that in very very different ways by using technology to enable people to stay in their own homes and by wrapping around them a whole series of on-demand services. So it’s about moving the setting of care out of the traditional high-cost hospital setting actually into the place that we all want to be which is at home.

Andrew Hine, a Partner with KPMG in the UK: “It’s about moving the setting of care out of the traditional high-cost hospital setting actually into the place that we all want to be, which is home.”
