Summary
You can read a summary of this workshop, and find a podcast and comic about it, here.
How do you deliver essential services when you can’t actually meet with people face to face?
This is a critical question governments across the globe have had to face as Covid-19 has necessitated radical changes in frontline operations.
Listen to the podcast to learn how to design digital social care services that work for your citizens in times of Covid-19.
You’ll hear case studies from digitally-enabled services like Care View, which was developed in 2016 to improve the accuracy of outreach and door knocking to find socially isolated older residents in a city, helping local governments save money. In 2019, the project received co-funding from the UK Space Agency, through its investment in the European Space Agency.
Care view has been developed by the Urban Sustainable Development Lab, which was named one of UK’s 50 New Radicals by Nesta and a FastCompany World Changing Idea.
You’ll also hear insights from other public servants working on designing digital services for their citizens.
