TEC Sector call to action on the results of telecare device testing

At a recent Ministerial led Roundtable at the Department of Health and Social Care, there was a call to action for all equipment solution suppliers and service providers within the Technology Enabled Care sector.

This call to action was to complete telecare device testing and to share test results with telecare industry and sector stakeholders, particularly those test results that focus on the use of analogue-only devices on digital networks.

The meeting brought together representatives of telecare service providers, device manufacturers and Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) / TEC Monitoring Services platform suppliers, and there was a broad commitment to share testing data, with service providers keen that equipment suppliers offered more information.

TSA is now asking you for the results of tests you already hold or plan to undertake in the near future and would be grateful for your assistance.

Please refer to the letter below for full details, including how to fulfil the requirements of the request. This request from TSA is endorsed by the Department of Health and Social Care, Local Government Association, Housing Learning and Improvement Network, TEC Cymru, Scottish Digital Office and Digital Health and Care Northern Ireland.

Please note the first deadline for information is 16 December so this data can be analysed and shared.
