Across health, housing and social care, there is a shared understanding that the way we support people must evolve. The Minister for Health and Social Care (DHSC), Stephen Kinnock MP, has emphasised the importance of early intervention and the use of technology to maintain independence. Housing LIN fully supports this direction, recognising the enormous opportunity to reshape care and support at home through digital innovation.
As the UK moves towards a fully digital communications network, the potential for proactive and preventative care is unprecedented. The collaboration between Everon and Howz, working together as Evercare, is a strong example of what that future looks like. By turning continuous pendant data into insight about daily life, sleep and wellbeing, Evercare shows how existing technology can deliver early intervention and safer, more independent living whether in mainstream or specialist/supported housing.
