Assistive Technology Think Tank

In association with Policy Connect

Policy connect, the cross-party think tank has been exploring the potential of smart technologies to transform social care and independent living among disabled and older people. Key findings of the APPG for AT to date include:

  • The digital fabric of housing will determine what role smart technologies play in social care and independent living;
  • housing developers are often reluctant to install extra cables due to costs; 
  • builders and architects must be brought into the discussion to ensure people’s homes are capable of supporting smart home systems.
