Supporting Independence through Technology

The Black Country ICS is wishing to pilot a select range of digital technologies to Care Users to:
- maximise their independence
- support with their Activities of Daily Living
- reduce their need for the delivery of intrusive care and support services
- reduce social isolation and loneliness
Digital technology is also expected to:
- improve the quality and efficiency of care delivery to support people to maintain their well-being through the creation of additional capacity to support care givers to continue with their caring roles
The vision is to deploy an integrated suite of technologies that work collectively to ensure that Care Users are connected to health and care support services as well as their family, friends and community.
