TTT was originally launched in 2007 and is a web based, practical learning resource aimed at educating health and social care professionals on what to consider when assessing and monitoring the use of assistive technology.

CareAssist Enables Portable Telecare Alerts
This week we've introduced CareAssist, our latest portable and easy to use telecare solution, which enables greater flexibility for support staff and helps them deliver higher quality care.
CareAssist allows carers living or working in care environments to receive instant alerts from our complete range of telecare sensors. The fully portable pocket-sized alarm immediately informs carers about the nature of the alert, the location and the name of the person requiring assistance, enabling them to respond quickly to incidents.

Simple solutions that save lives

However, in the case of Wilf Hewitt, 97, his simple Tunstall smoke detector system saved his life.
He dozed while cooking a meal, not realising he'd inadvertently left the hob on high heat. He was woken by the smoke alarm, which was also linked to a monitoring centre by his housing provider, A1 Housing. The centre contacted Mr Hewitt's son, who called the Fire Service.
