Embracing Innovation: How New Technology is Transforming The Care Sector

Zoe Olma

As the care sector progresses, the integration of technology is revolutionising how care is delivered, creating new opportunities for personalised and precise care plans. One notable transformation is occurring in domiciliary care, where the emphasis is increasingly on customising care to meet each individual's unique needs, preferences, and daily routines while making care management more efficient and profitable.

The government has strongly endorsed these advancements in the care sector. Currently, over 60% of care providers now use Digital Social Care Records (DSCRs), up from just 40%, with many more in the process of adopting the technology. This growing implementation reflects a widespread recognition of the critical role digital tools play in ensuring consistent, high-quality care. The government continues to champion initiatives that promote the integration of these technologies across the care sector.

Why should caregivers care about health tech?

Beyond enhancing personalisation, technology also creates greater collaboration among caregivers, family members, and healthcare professionals. The ability to share information in real-time via digital platforms supports seamless communication and a more coordinated approach to care. With instant access to updated care plans and health data, all involved parties can work together to deliver optimal outcomes for clients.

What platforms can you trust?
