BY ADOPTING REMOTE MONITORING TECHNOLOGY LIKE LILLI , LOCAL AUTHORITIES AND ADULT SOCIAL SERVICE TEAMS CAN BE ON THE FRONT FOOT AND SPOT BEHAVIOURAL SIGNS OF HEALTH DECLINE – AS WELL AS CONDITIONS LIKE LOW TEMPERATURES – WHICH SUGGEST PEOPLE MAY BE STRUGGLING WITHOUT CARERS BEING PRESENT .
Around the country , evidence is building to show the impact that Lilli is having across the UK . The remote monitoring technology has been rolled out through several successful pilot schemes via local authorities , allowing caregivers the ability to monitor key indicators of health and wellbeing including eating and drinking , bathroom activity , movement and temperature .
This helps to keep people in their own homes , preventing even greater pressure on over-stretched services this winter through emergency hospital admissions .
By taking this proactive step , local authorities , ICBs and caregivers can prioritise support and ensure warmth for those who need it most . This will in turn reduce the risk to life for the most vulnerable in society throughout the upcoming winter season .
In the short term , we can make a real difference in supporting the most vulnerable during the coldest months of the year and ensuring their homes stay heated . But longer term , implementing remote monitoring technology will be a catalyst for transforming the social care eco-system , piece by piece . The benefits will enable a ripple effect into the wider health system delivering better outcomes for the entire population .
Our successful pilots have proved that remote technology amplifies caregiver hours , accelerates hospital discharge rates and has the potential to save millions of pounds , allowing funds to be redeployed into areas where they are really needed . We need to break the cycle and put the right digital foundations in place now to prevent further harm and overhaul our gridlocked healthcare system . Only by adopting smart technology will we see real change . �
