Updates from our Testbeds:
Residents at Wiltshire’s testbed Dairy View have provided positive feedback (opens new window) about the technology package installed in this extra care scheme. It includes a smart living solution system, video door entry system, mobile device with an alarm, and a hydracup for monitoring hydration. Alexa devices are also being trialled to assist with home operations.
One resident noted that the smart living solution system has allowed her to connect with others without leaving her home.
We recently welcomed Pete and Jolie from Co-production Works to the newly-launched Bield Tech Hub. They were given a tour by our TAPPI Champions, Peter and Alice, and had an opportunity to get hands-on and see the technology in action.
