Tunstall launch latest White Paper - 'Advancing Technology Enabled Care: Who Cares and Who Pays?'

A new report from Tunstall, 'Advancing Technology Enabled Care - Who Cares and Who Pays?', explores how telecare drives preventative and proactive solutions to support healthcare systems. Tunstall's White Paper investigates how models of integrated health and care around the world are delivering for growing populations of older and vulnerable people.

The paper explores how technology can prevent and minimise unnecessary access to healthcare systems and enable individuals to remain independent at home for longer, making arguments for funding reform and concluding with actionable recommendations for the UK health and care sector to support the objectives of the NHS 10-Year Health Plan.

Commenting on the White Paper, Jeremy Porteus, CEO at Housing LIN, said:

"Ensuring that older and vulnerable people can live safely and independently in their homes is a growing challenge for mainstream and specialist housing providers. Technology plays a crucial role in helping residents stay in their communities for longer through delivering proactive and preventative solutions that reduce the chance of emergency intervention. To truly integrate housing, health and care, we need sustainable funding models that empower local authorities and housing associations to invest in technology solutions at scale. This report discusses and demonstrates how a shift towards proactive and preventative support can unlock cost savings and improve quality of life, ensuring housing providers can better support their residents at home while reducing pressure on the NHS and social care systems."
