Technology Enabled Care solutions and Assistive Technology Survey 2024

Overview

Technology Enabled Care Solutions (TECS) describes a range of health and care technologies such as Telecare, Telehealth, Telemedicine /Teletriage and Home Activity Tracking Systems.  In this survey we will be using the word TECS when talking about this.

TECS is a way to describe community equipment and would cover all technologies such as phone applications and smart home adaptations (like Alexa, mood lighting, digital security furniture sensors to prevent falls in the home , smart phone applications like HIVE, smart plugs and flood detectors, medication prompts to name but a few examples) 

It includes technology that assists people with disabilities and mobility needs, and it provides an adapted solution to help people to improve their skills, manage their conditions and remain independent.

• If you use technology or assistive technology how they have helped you or people you care for.
