Over the past weeks, we engaged with communities in Cornwall, inviting people to evaluate the technology prototypes we’ve co-designed with our participants. None of this would happen without the support of Imagine If (www.imagineif.net). We look forward to working together again in the future!

Our researcher, Oksana Hagen, joined the panel at the European Chatbot and Conversational AI Summit, which featured speakers from top enterprises, brands, and researchers who leverage chatbot, Conversational AI and Generative AI technology. Find out more about the summit: theeuropeanchatbot.com

Kudos to Rory and Oksana from the ICONIC team for delivering a keynote at the Socially Competent Agents that Care Workshop during the 12th HAI Conference at Swansea University! Their presentation highlighted the innovative Voice AI technology the team has developed over the past two years! 🎉🎉🎉

More images from our evaluation workshops. Thanks to our amazing participants; your contribution helped the development of technologies that could really benefit the local communities! And soon, we will be able to meet our Cornish participants again 😁

Our evaluation workshops allowed participants to experience all 4 technologies we developed over the past 2 years! We hosted three workshops at the University of Plymouth today and yesterday, and we received some great feedback which would help with further development.

On 23/10/24, our Project Review & Dementia Health Technologies Conference brought together our researchers, participants and stakeholders over the last two years. We showcased the development of four digital prototypes and considered how wider digital technologies can support people with dementia.

Great to see so many people at the ICONIC Conference at University of Plymouth. Very interesting talks and showcases on health technologies including a focus on support for people with dementia. Thank you to the Centre for Health Technology for organising. @penarc.bsky.social
