The
​Future of Telecare 

A group project in collaboration with Glasgow City Council aiming to improve their Telecare service. 

​Meetings with current Telecare users, unpaid careers and various health and social care workers highlighted the flaws in current solutions which rely on a persons ability and willingness to use them. As a result, there were two key things we wanted to achieve: 
1.  Removing the stigma around Telecare
2. Eliminating the need for users to remember to wear, or even think about Telecare 
​
Other important factors were:
- Low cost 
- Easy installation
- Creating a more proactive rather than reactive system

​Our ethos became 'Telecare you don't wear'.  In reality, it extended beyond this - not only do you not wear it, but you don't think about it, you don't notice it is there. As a result we came up with a discreet integrated home system which predicts and prevents incidents of risk by monitoring patterns, and reliably reacts to incidents when they occur.
