Increased use of technology

Bexley is keen to support independence, through digitally enabled lives and to explore the role technology can play in providing care and support differently, helping people to be independent and to remain in their own home for as long as possible.

Increased use of technology has been shown to reduce hospital admissions, facilitate earlier discharges and reduce the need for face-to-face care.

Bexley wants to work alongside providers to develop new and innovative ways of providing outcomes-based support.

From using widely available mainstream technology to virtual care, wearables, pressure matts, video phone technology, GPS and robotics.

We are keen for providers to approach us with their ideas for utilising the latest technology in care packages and we will enable that sharing of ideas through our provider forums.
