Socks that could improve dementia care | Future Makers Ep 1

What if a pair of socks could help detect distress in someone living with dementia – even before they can say something’s wrong? This piece of wearable tech is designed to do just that. Our presenter Zoe goes behind the scenes to explore smart socks that can read tiny changes in sweat, pulse and movement. To understand how they work, Zoe puts the technology to the test and even ends up getting rather cold in the process – you'll see why in the video. Watch the full Future Makers episode and see how a pair of socks could change the way we care for an ageing population. Future Makers – In this new series, we bring you into the world of UKRI-funded researchers or innovators working on ideas that will genuinely improve our lives. Real people, real stories and real impact.
