Totally invigorated by a day of IRL future-thinking with curious minds at #TomorrowsHome@MuseumoftheHome in 2 @health_eng workshops, in collaboration with @cian & SoundVoice. We touched on everything from climate change to ageing populations to 4th industrial revolution 💭💭💭💭
Armchairs with algorithms to help you pay the bills, mugs with sensors to detect medication, plant pots that calculate pollution levels - what would you invite into your house?
Enter the future...
Can't wait until this weekend when #TomorrowsHome exhibition inspired by @ucl healthcare engineering research opens at @MuseumoftheHome?
@richardjgodwin @ObsMagazine dived into the implications of this #technology on our health & homes.

In what has been a sometimes difficult year, it was a real bright spot to help judge these #OneUCL Awards and read so many thoughtful, inspiring nominations. A real testament to the incredible efforts of our @UCL community in these strange times! https://t.co/wOulXwbqy1
You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.
An additional 1,000 UCL-Ventura breathing aids developed by engineers at @ucl & Mercedes-AMG HPP have been sent to India to help the hardest hit areas, as part of the UK government's emergency supplies. 🙏

1 year later, UCL-Ventura breathing aids from @ucl, @uclh, @MercedesAMGF1 are helping #COVID19 patients in over 15 countries across the world
A multitude of collaborations has made this possible.
Today, we celebrate the teams making a difference.
The low-cost breathing aid our engineers developed alongside @MercedesAMGF1, @UCLHresearch is helping to cut deaths from #COVID19 in hospitals around the world.
UCL-Ventura's now in 130 #NHS hospitals & helping patients in over 15 other countries: https://t.co/hScVp48FJJ
I’ve spent my life walking at night to and from gigs. Walked through Brixton at midnight, Clapham in the dark. Wearing trainers so I could run. I held my keys between my fingers, Asked other women ‘shall we walk together?’ Woman shouldn’t fear the dark. This news is shattering.
Delighted to announce a donation of 1000 @ucl Ventura #CPAPs made by @MercedesAMGF1@uclh@uclmecheng teams have been distributed to public hospitals where the need is great in #SouthAfrica
Thanks to @MercedesBenz_SA for this generous donation & continuing the fight together 🌏
What four hours of a brainstorming workshop looks like in our new, virtual world 💭🤯
Lots to digest from policy-makers, academics, charity-leaders and thinkers from across the #HealthyAgeing space - thank you for joining us!

.@rebeccajshipley tells @TVNaga01@bbc5live about UCL Age Innovation Hub- launched to help older people stay socially connected, independent & healthy through pandemic.
How can the public help? Share your ideas, needs & problems that we can work to solve: https://t.co/YWDkQT5ppp
A few words I wrote for @UCL_CoPro reflecting on the changes we’re trying to embed in our approach to research with Age Innovation Hub 👥
I touch on democratising the idea of an ‘expert’, the value of more voices & the questions I'm still grappling with.
