Technology helping families to care

Carers UK calls for technological transformation to support families caring for ill, frail and disabled loved ones.

In a new report published today, Carers UK has called for a new approach to the role of technology in the care of older and disabled people.

Care and technology in the 21st century argues that the way families already use technology to work, plan their lives, shop and socialize should also be reflected in how they care for ill, frail or disabled loved ones.

The report also launches a new partnership, Connect: Toolkits for Assisted Living, between the charity, and partners including Microsoft. As the demographic shift of an ageing population and the squeeze on public spending put a dual pressure on both families and health and social care services; the partnership will look at how technology can help families manage and plan care better, and improve efficiency in health and care services.
