Technology Enabled Care

We offer discreet fall detection technology which works alongside a community alarm pendant. These devices use sensors to monitor changes such as impact, height variation and sudden acceleration. They can raise an alert if a potential fall is detected - even if you are unable to press your pendant.

This allows a faster response to falls and can help you feel more confident as you go about your daily life.

Specialist equipment for people who are deaf or hard of hearing can help you to stay safe, connected and independent at home.

These technologies provide alerts for important sounds like the doorbell, telephone or smoke alarm. They may use visual prompts, vibration or amplified audio.

Vibrating pillow pads can also increase night time safety. These can alert you if an alarm goes off while you are asleep. Other equipment, such as TV listeners and personal listening devices, can improve communication and day‑to‑day quality of life. 

Managing medication can be challenging, particularly if you have multiple prescriptions. Simple tools such as mobile phone reminders or smart speaker alerts can be effective, fitting easily into daily routines.

If you need further support, automated pill dispensers give timely prompts. They release the correct dose at the right time and use audible alarms or visual cues to gain your attention.

These solutions promote safer, more independent medication management and can provide reassurance to both individuals and carers.

If you have memory difficulties or cognitive conditions such as dementia, keeping track of daily routines can become more difficult. Gentle, well‑timed prompts can make a big difference.

Visual displays, spoken reminders, vibrating watches and talking alarm clocks can support everyday tasks such as taking medication, attending appointments and following daily routines. Some systems also allow carers or family members to set personalised reminders.

Certain types of seizures can be detected electronically with specialist technology. These detectors monitor patterns such as repetitive movement, sound or changes in heart rate. They are often used overnight, positioned under the mattress or worn as a discreet device.

If the device notices activity which might suggest a seizure, an alert can be sent to a pager or smart device. This allows help to arrive sooner, and can provide reassurance to both to you and and unpaid carers.

Technology can help create a safer, more supportive home environment. Bed and chair sensors can alert a carer if you get up unexpectedly, helping to reduce falls or wandering risks. Door, room and movement sensors provide early warnings and reassurance for families.

Safety outside the home is just as important. GPS trackers can share your location if you get lost, become confused or experience a fall. This helps carers to respond quickly and allows you to be more confident when out and about.

Home activity monitoring helps understand a person’s usual daily routine by observing patterns of movement within the home over time. This provides a gentle, behind the scenes view of day‑to‑day wellbeing.

By working together with you and unpaid carers, TECS can help identify changes early and explore what support or equipment may help you. This can help you to stay independent for as long as possible.
