BBC Radio 4 meets Professor Dame Wendy Hall

Our dementia challenge prize featured on BBC Radio 4

Dame Wendy Hall, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Southampton and Longitude Prize Committee member joined Nick Robinson on BBC 4 Today Programme to discuss the Longitude Prize on Dementia. 

Wendy talks about the importance of the new technology prize on dementia, what type of innovative solutions involving artificial intelligence she is looking for through the £4.42m challenge prize programme and the importance of co-creation with end-users and people living with dementia.

“As our senses go as we get older, artificial aids will be able to help us – even memory aids. Imagine not recognising the person in front of you and then having something whisper in your ear to remind you or tell you what you should be doing in that moment,” Dame Wendy Hall.
