Dr Melina Evripidou represented our Department at the 40th Annual Conference of the European Health Psychology Society (EHPS 2026), presenting research on the ethical challenges surrounding the use of assistive technologies in dementia care.
The presentation highlighted important issues related to autonomy, informed consent, privacy, dignity, and the balance between safety and independence, emphasising the need for ethical and person-centred approaches to technology-supported dementia care.
Participation in this major international conference provided an excellent opportunity to showcase the Department’s research activity, exchange knowledge with researchers from across Europe and beyond, and strengthen its contribution to contemporary discussions on dementia care, health technology and ethics.
