More than half of housing associations and providers are actively planning to move from analogue telecare, warden and community call systems to digital/IP (internet protocol) solutions.
The findings of the Fast Forward to Digital Care report, published by Appello, one of the UK's leading technology-enabled care service providers, and The Housing Learning and Improvement Network (LIN), paints a promising picture for the future of digital care technologies - with 84% of housing providers agreeing that the adoption of digital will be critical for their future success.
The report found that only 9% of those surveyed had no plans to phase out analogue systems. However, the lack of support and understanding of digital is holding back investment and stifling innovation.
