Summary
Liverpool is leading the way in the use of smartphone technology to deliver and monitor care in people’s homes. The city is the first to introduce a digital system with almost all domiciliary care providers – giving instant information about 9,000 vulnerable residents to their families and professionals. The use of an app allows care providers and families to see when a visit is carried out by a carer, for how long and how the person responded.The effect is better informed families and care managers and improved care.
Liverpool is the only authority in Europe to be using the technology across its city, with all but one of its 18 domiciliary care providers using everyLIFE PASSsystem. It was made possible through a grant of one million Euros of European Union funding secured through the EU STOPandGO programme of which the Innovation Agency, the Academic Health Science Network for the North West Coast was a key partner.
