The Time is Now: Adoption of data led technology critical to fixing the UK's health and social crisis and delivering a preventative model of care.

1​1 September 2024

Everon, the European market leader in digital grouped assisted living solutions, will use an event in Manchester later this month to issue a rallying cry for the technology enabled care (TEC) sector.

The Maidstone based company has used 2024 to embrace the potential of data-led monitoring technology, signing new strategic partnerships with exciting innovators like Howz to develop the next generation of intelligent technology solutions to power a national transition to a more preventative model of care.

Everon is sponsoring 'Innovative Horizons: Shaping the Future of TEC', TSA's one-day event taking place at the King’s House Conference Centre in Manchester from 9am to 3.20pm on Wednesday, 25 September.

Organised by TSA, this important event will be a place for networking and discussions including the transformative potential of AI, machine learning and big data.

It comes at a time of significant pressures on social care and health care, in terms of both capacity and cost, set against the backdrop of a demographic time bomb caused by a growing older population

Peter Kerly, Managing Director, Everon UK, said: “Businesses across the TEC sector are investing now in developing the innovative data driven solutions that can transform the wider health and care system, reducing hospital stays and spiralling costs for care home and emergency admissions.

“We want to use this event in September as a platform to call on government policy makers, health care commissioners and housing association leaders to put their trust in the future.That future lies in a preventative model of care.

“This means moving away from products that are analogue in delivery, if not in technology, to the latest monitoring systems that can detect changes in behaviour. These have the capability to warn families of loved ones, and the care providers they rely on of health issues that may be emerging. Action can then be taken before they become an issue not after a fall, when it may be too late.

“With digital switchover now set for 2027, it’s vital that those providing support for assisted living invest their finite resources in systems that will benefit the wider health and social care ecosystem - easing pressures and reducing costs for the long term.If the government is to achieve its ambitions of fixing the NHS and social care those investment decisions being taken now will be critical.”
