💡 Technology in Care: supporting independence and safety
Technology is transforming the way people are supported in care – helping individuals live more independently while giving families and professionals greater peace of mind.
From easy-to-use apps that support daily routines, to wearables that monitor health and detect falls, and specialist equipment that makes homes safer and more accessible – digital tools are now an essential part of modern care.
When used properly, technology can:
✅ promote independence and choice
✅ improve safety and risk management
✅ support communication with families and professionals
✅ help staff respond more quickly and effectively
Most importantly, it should always enhance person-centred care – not replace human support.
How is technology being used in your service to support people to live safely and independently?
