Workshop - Public Innovation and Emerging Technologies in Health and Social Care across Japan and Europe Oct 21
Dear all, <br> <br>Apologies for cross posting. <br> <br>I’d like to invite anyone who happens to be in Paris next Monday (21st <br>October) to a workshop on "Public Innovation and Emerging Technologies in <br>Health and Social Care across Japan and Europe” at Fondation France-Japon <br>de l'EHESS. The central focus of the workshop will be on care robots. A <br>flyer with further information can be found here: <br>http://ffj.ehess.fr/upload/Actualites/Events/2019/2019-10-21_FFJ_MichelinWork <br>shop.pdf <br> <br>ABSTRACT: <br> <br>Public innovation policy plays a key role in the development and <br>implementation of new technologies in health and social care. In the <br>context of escalating challenges presented by aging populations and <br>increasing numbers of people living with chronic diseases, governments in <br>Japan, Europe and elsewhere are having to make strategic decisions about <br>allocating resources to promising but often relatively untested new care <br>technologies, including social robots (e.g. Paro, Nao/Zora, Pepper), <br>assistive and rehabilitative devices (e.g. smart walkers, exoskeletons), <br>tablets (e.g. iPads), AI-enabled voice assistants (e.g. Amazon Alexa, <br>Google Assistant), and care-related apps, to name just a few. A surge of <br>new devices entering the care marketplace is introducing vast complexity <br>related to technical issues such as big data/AI, the internet of things, <br>infrastructure (broadband and 5G), interoperability, standardisation, <br>maintenance, as well as ethical concerns around safety, data security, <br>privacy/surveillance, digital divides, dehumanisation of care, and impacts <br>on jobs and work in the field of care – to say nothing of defining and <br>evaluating efficacy. <br> <br>This workshop will explore some of the ways in which states are negotiating <br>and shaping the changing technology landscape in health and social care. <br> <br>SCHEDULE: <br> <br>10:00 │ Opening Remarks - Sébastien Lechevalier (EHESS, CCJ-FFJ) <br> <br>10:10 │ Contrasting the Development and Implementation of Robots for the <br>Care of Older Adults in Japan and Europe - James Wright (EHESS, University <br>of Sheffield) <br> <br>10.50 │ Taking Care of the Robot: A Field Study of a Dementia-Prevention <br>Robot Class in South Korea - Heesun Shin and Chihyung Jeon (Korea Advanced <br>Institute of Science and Technology) <br> <br>11.45 │ Do Socially Assistive Robots Improve Quality of Life among Older <br>People in a Nursing Home? - Naonori Kodate (University College Dublin) <br> <br>2.00 │ Social Robots in Elderly Care: The Turn toward Emotional Machines in <br>Contemporary Japan - Anne Aronsson (University of Zurich) <br> <br>2.40 │ Emotional Robots: Limits and Possibilities of Affective AI in Health <br>and Social Care - Giulia De Togni (University of Edinburgh Medical School) <br> <br>3.30 │ Who is Holding the Webcam?: The Invisible Labor of Caregivers in <br>South Korean Telemedicine Practices - Sungeun Kim and Chihyung Jeon (Korea <br>Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) <br> <br>4.10 │ “Robolution” in Care: The Rationale and Realities of Ethical “ <br>Co-Conception” and “Adoption” of Care Robots in France - Martin <br>Chevallier <br>(EHESS) <br> <br>4.50 │ Concluding Remarks <br> <br>ADDRESS: <br> <br>EHESS, Room 737 (7th floor) 54 boulevard Raspail, 75006 Paris <br> <br>No prior registration is required, and the workshop is free of charge. <br>Talks will be held in English. All are welcome! <br> <br>James Wright <br> <br>Michelin Fellow, Fondation France-Japon de l’EHESS <br>Research Associate, University of Sheffield <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
