Digital Telecare - Smart Care Solutions
Our digital telecare solution is, by design, a full-service digital social alarm ecosystem. It uniquely combines traditional reactive alarm functionality with proactive digital monitoring of the activities of daily living to support preventative and sustainable care delivery in the home.
Access Assure digital telecare technology enables local authorities, acute trusts, social care providers, as well as care home, agency and domiciliary care organisations to help their service-users meet their independent living goals at a fraction of the cost of other care alternatives. This ensures budgets spread further and more care-receivers can be supported.
A preventative approach
Our focus is on supporting improved personal social care outcomes for service-users and providing proactive telecare insights that allow professional caregiver’s and care receiver’s alike to make better care intervention decisions that improve personal outcomes.
Health, support and care is moving towards a participatory ecosystem, one that puts people at the centre of their own care journey. To be at the forefront of this emerging and disruptive trend, health support and care systems need an appetite for ambitious transformation. Tough decisions are required in many areas, for example where to divest, revitalise or pursue innovation.
Access’ disruptive digital telecare solution accelerates change to care provision on two fronts; shifting the care location to anywhere, anytime and the care model to preventive, personalised and participatory
Our Digital Telecare Home Solution
Our digital telecare at home solution puts care-receivers and their families at the centre, supporting carers to proactively notice the gradual, often subtle, changes in a loved one's routine - that human observation can so easily miss.
Such changes might suggest a possible underlying health issue or care concern with the potential to compromise wellbeing or raise an independence concern. By ensuring these subtle changes or declines are noticed earlier, proactive action can be taken – often days before something more critical happens.

Attention on demand
Our dynamic combination of software and hardware allows for attention to be brought to carers and individuals alike.
- A simple press of panic button or home hub will raise an alarm
- In-built two-way audio communication will enable carers check-in fast so loved ones know they’re not alone
- Timely alerts through the Access Assure app keep family members and the wider support and care circle in the loop to know loved ones are ok
A new Commission says local authorities need more support to invest in proactive technology enabled care services
Local councils across the UK risk missing key opportunities to prevent ill-health and promote independence because they lack the tools and evidence to make the investment case for preventative digital care, according to a new national Commission.
Jointly led by the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) and the TEC Services Association (TSA), the Commission spoke with over 50 senior social care leaders from local authorities.
In response, they have launched a free, practical Blueprint to help councils plan, implement and scale digital preventative care services, titled, ‘Unlocking the Power of Proactive and Preventative Care Services’.
The Blueprint captures best practice from across the UK and includes:
- A step-by-step planning and implementation guide
- A summary of proactive care service models
- Financial tools and return-on-investment guidance
- Case studies from councils already delivering successful services
Sir David Pearson, Chair of TEC Quality and Co-chair of the Commission, said:
“Proactive and preventative services are key to helping communities thrive and easing pressure on overstretched services. This Blueprint gives councils a practical roadmap to help them take action.”
