Modern technology is playing an increasing role in our day to day lives bringing with it both benefits and frustrations.
These technologies can offer benefits for people who need support. But we are in danger of letting people become excluded from modern life if we do not make sure that everyone gets opportunities to use it.
Simple off the shelf items like smart phones or voice controlled appliances in the home are mainstream. But are people who live in supported living getting the most out of them in their lives?
Specialist technology such as telecare is available but is its low uptake because it is not useful or because of cost, organisational policy or other concerns?
Support for living in the 21st century will look at how 3 organisations have addressed integrating technology into the day to day lives and support for the people they work with.
Find out how they do it, the positive outcomes for the people they support and problems they have encountered along the way.
