Chichester, March 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Christina Handasyde Dick MBE, founder of Guardian Angel Carers<\/a>, responds to a pivotal report and research to be published by the TEC Alliance on 19 March \u2013 \u2018Implementing TEC so we can all live gloriously ordinary lives\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The TEC (Technology Enabled Care) Action Alliance<\/a> is a group of 30 care organisations including the Local Government Association, Care England, Homecare Association and the TEC Services Association (TSA). Their aim is to put the voices of people, families and unpaid carers centre stage when TEC services and solutions are developed.<\/p>\n

The research and report is thought to be the first time that the voices of the people who draw on care and support themselves have been heard and amplified, rather than care staff and organisations. <\/p>\n

The \u2018nine pillars of digital care\u2019 \u2013 a priority list of what people actually want from technology-enabled care, will be revealed when the report is published on 19 March, while the report\u2019s authors also call for a \u2018common language and metrics\u2019 to enable comparisons of technologies and benefits.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Action Paper outlines a future where the voice of people is front and centre of decisions about technology-enabled care\u201d <\/em>Clenton Farquarson MBE, Co-Chair TEC Action Alliance.<\/p>\n

\u2018Delighted to Support this Report\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

Sussex-based home care provider and franchisor, Guardian Angel Carers is a TEC Action Alliance Commercial Partner, and has contributed to this research and report.<\/p>\n

As Research, Evaluation and Learning Consultant says, Dr. Sarah Alden: \u201cGuardian Angel Carers<\/a> offered expert insight and facilitated connection to people who draw on care and\u00a0support. Capturing this feedback helped build our understanding of what people value, and the language they use to describe TEC. This research highlights the need to ensure TEC is personalised, seamless and understood by those who may benefit \u2013 and it is hoped that Guardian Angel Carers will continue to contribute to these discussions moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founder, Christina Handasyde Dick comments, \u201cThis is a really important report, and we\u2019re delighted to support it, and to have contributed in practical terms with focus groups and our own insights and experiences.”<\/p>\n

“From the very beginning of GAC in 2012, we\u2019ve been passionate about using technology to complement our more traditional home care services, always with a view to delivering the best possible outcomes for our clients. And, because we\u2019ve been open to tech solutions, we\u2019ve built really strong, mutually beneficial relationships with forward-thinking TEC providers,” says Christina.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ll certainly continue to collaborate if there are opportunities for our clients to participate in research that underpins the development of technology that is client-focused and effective.\u201d<\/p>\n


TEC (Technology Enabled Care) Action Alliance <\/p>\n

Putting our team at the centre of care provision<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe crucial thing for GAC is to ensure that our amazing team remains at the centre of home care provision, as we implement tech in care<\/a> that has the capacity to reduce the cost of care, allocate resources effectively, and \u2013 ultimately \u2013 help to keep people in their own homes for as long as they wish.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn reality, the private homecare market has lagged behind local authorities \u2013 who are more incentivised to reduce costs.”<\/p>\n

Looking forward, GAC aims to change the mindset around home care. \u201cToo many people put off thinking about care until crisis point. We want to educate people to be proactive and pre-emptive. Preventing critical incidents means a better and longer quality of life. When people understand how unintrusive, simple and secure the latest applications can be, they become much more open to the clear benefits they bring for all parties \u2013 client, family, paid and unpaid carers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The TEC Action Alliance is urging a strategic and person-centred approach to TEC procurement, that resonates with the real needs of real people. \u201cAs the population ages,\u201d says Christina, \u201cjudiciously applied technology can help to enable self-management and mitigate the escalation in care-needs.”<\/p>\n

“Asking real people has been a vital step towards optimising the potential of technology-enabled care.”<\/p>\n
