Slough Borough Council is assessing how it might better use smart technology to enable residents to remain independent at home as well as in the community.

We want to understand how residents use technology in their lives from staying in touch with family and friends to accessing medical and council services.

We also want to know the barriers to using technology such as smart watches, tablets and home devices, like user knowledge, costs or reliance on other people.

This information is important to assess whether we currently offer  enough services via this technology or can improve this offering to benefit people now who want it as well as considering future needs.

The name of these services is being referred to as Technology Enabled Care (TEC). It may be known by you as Assistive Technology or Telecare.
