City4Age expands into Yardley, Birmingham

Our work continues with Birmingham City Council on their award winning City4Age project.  Last week we continued to install more beacons across Yardley, focusing on areas where older people are most likely to visit such as shops, cafes, library, community centre and even a city farm.  This will enable us to track their movements with a view to understanding daily life patterns and then introduce appropriate interventions based on their behaviours and requirements.

We got great support from Cllrs Sue Anderson and Paul Tilsley CBE, here with Stuart Young, who came to the Anne Marie Howes Centre (Birmingham NHS), a 32 Bedded Rehabilitation Centre.
