New blog explores legal risks and opportunities in digital care for older people

In this new Housing LIN guest blog, David Hall, Partner in the Technology and Innovation Team at HCR Law, reflects on a presentation he gave at our Annual Conference, Shaping Homes for Health, Independence and Connection, held in Bristol in March 2026.

He shares insights on enabling older people to choose communities while staying independent. He explores legal risks around data and digital care technologies, highlighting the importance of contracts, governance and resilience.

Case studies reveal pitfalls from poor consultation and fragile services, while practical approaches show how collaboration and data-sharing can succeed.
