Decision details

The Director of Adults and Health submitted a report providing an update on the progress being made in maximising the use of digital solutions that promote the health and wellbeing of Leeds citizens. In addition, the report illustrated what had been achieved through innovative partnerships, but also provided details on some of the challenges being faced in taking this agenda forward.

Members welcomed the content of the submitted report and the further health and wellbeing benefits that could potentially be realised by the continued development of the digital support agenda. However, a Member highlighted the need to ensure that as the agenda developed, users of the new technology, particularly older people, were provided with appropriate guidance to help them make safe choices.

In conclusion, it was requested that a demonstration of the new developments in this area was provided to Board Members for their information.
