Our new winter care fund allows access to up to £ 1,000,000 of matched funding in order to procure and roll out remote monitoring technology to address some of the main challenges within the care system – supporting organisations that wish to improve conditions using a proactive , sensor-based solution .

This allows caregivers the opportunity to intervene early before an individual ’ s health starts to decline and focus precious resources where they are most needed .
