Technology supporting people
In today’s connected world, technology is making it easier than ever before to access information and services. Devices like activity trackers, mobile phones and tablets can help people control and manage their own health, care and wellbeing.
NHS Education for Scotland's Technology Supporting People animations encourage people to use technology to improve the way they experience health and care.
