SmartCare

SmartCare is a new European project that aims to use digital technology to improve the health, care and wellbeing of older people who are at risk of a fall.

Using familiar digital technology, such as computers and smartphones, SmartCare will help older people and their carers to make the best use of the local health and social care services available, encourage them to lead active and independent lives, and to manage their own health effectively.

Storm Health

Storm Health and Living it Up have joined forces to create ‘Get Active’, which is a fitness based activity tracking scheme, monitored by a digital pedometer.

Get Active is designed to maximise the great benefits of exercise for patients who are already taking part in exercise referral schemes. We are hoping that Get Active will improve the way that physical activity levels are monitored, the way that self-management of health and wellbeing is carried out and that it will boost the quality of life of the patients who are involved.

To find out more about the partnership and how Get Active is progressing, please see our summary of the Storm Health 6 week review.
