About Technology Enabled Care Systems (TECS)
Whether you’re a independent resident, housing provider or care association we can help…
TECS can be tailored to the needs of every user, helping to automatically monitor risks, such as falls or fires.
These systems also offer vulnerable people the ability to call a specialist monitoring centre for help in case of an emergency, 24 hours a day. Such technology is scalable, cost-effective and helps individuals to remain independent for longer, as well as care to be person-centred rather than place-based.
What is the digital transition?
Currently, most people have analogue phones that plug directly into a socket on the wall. As we see demand for technology such as laptops, tablets, and smart devices increasing, the UK’s communications infrastructure needs to be upgraded to accommodate increased use.
This has resulted in national telecoms infrastructure providers upgrading their networks, gradually replacing analogue lines with digital ones, which will require phones to be connected to an analogue telephone adapter (ATA) box or router provided by the user’s communications provider (phone company). Openreach plans to complete works by 31 January 2027, increasing system capacity and capability, as well as providing a foundation for future technological advancement. Island Technologies can provide advise and assistance with ensuring your systems will stay functional after the digital switchover.
How does this impact the telecare sector?
The transition to digital presents both opportunities and challenges to health, housing, and social care providers. The upgrade to the UK’s communications network along with digital technology has the potential to transform the care service delivery, making it more person-centred, preventative, and efficient.
Telecare technology has a key role to play in enabling services to be delivered in innovative ways, placing the people that need these services at the heart of the decision making. The relatively low-cost helps people to stay living in a place of their choice for longer with increased quality of life, plays a part in avoiding hospital admissions and often prevents or at least delays the need for residential care.
Island Technologies is focused on developing these solutions and services to support users, families and providers as we progress through the digital transition.
