Bield Housing & Care, Haringey Council, Platform Housing Group, Pobl Group, Southend Care and Wiltshire Council will each receive between £65k and £75k in funding so they can involve their older residents in shaping new digital services.
The funding is part of the TAPPI project (Technology for our Ageing Population: Panel for Innovation), which aims to improve the way technology is used in housing and care for older people through ten practical principles.
Each housing organisation will engage a diverse range of older people to test different devices, apps and systems across a variety of housing settings.
Residents will be given shared responsibility, alongside staff, to make decisions about which digital support services to develop.
