Assisted Living Innovation Platform - The Long Term Care Revolution

The Technology Strategy Board (TSB) are undertaking a major programme that seeks to identify, test and develop the drivers to eliminate institutional long-term care through business-led projects with the potential for real commercial value in the UK. The aim is to harness creativity and innovative capabilities across a wide range of sectors in order to provide more options in future - options that will enable people to live with more dignity and autonomy, as well as help decrease the financial pressure that the Government and individuals will face if they eventually need high levels of care.

The TSB will be bring a group a varied group of experts together to participate in a "sandpit" with the expectation that they work together to develop radical, risky and novel ideas that can then be developed into full proposals for industry-led projects. Following on from this, the TSB we will be awarding up to £2.4m to help successful flourish.

The Housing LIN (opens new window) is pleased to be invited to publish two key documents that formed part of the background thinking to 'The Long Term Care Revolution'.
