Supplier webinar – Technology Enabled Community Care

Join us for a 1‑hour webinar introducing the upcoming Technology Enabled Community Care (TECC) Framework.

The Technology Enabled Care, Electronic Assistive Technology and Lone Worker Devices framework is primarily designed to offer products which improve independence by meeting the needs of people with complex disabilities, assisting with day to day living within their own homes, with products such as environmental controls (EC) and providing forms of augmentative and alternative communication devices (AAC) for those who may otherwise find traditional communication challenging.

Additionally, the framework also provides lone worker devices primarily for but not limited to healthcare professionals who work in the community. These products provide an added layer of safety precaution allowing communication or situational information to be provided to employers or emergency services should a serious situation arise.
