SMEs and organisations committed to delivering innovative care solutions can significantly benefit by aligning with the council’s vision of preventive and independent living support through smart technologies. The project’s emphasis on quality service delivery, collaboration, and sustainability provides a competitive edge to businesses capable of developing robust, adaptive, and cost-effective digital solutions.

It enables the continuous, automatic, and remote monitoring of real time emergencies and lifestyle changes, helping to manage and reduce risks associated with independent living. The service supports eligible adults across the county to maintain independence, safety, and wellbeing through a wide range of digital solutions. These include traditional telecare devices such as fall detectors and medication dispensers, as well as emerging technologies like smart home systems, voice activated tools, and AI driven monitoring. This technology is designed to empower individuals to remain independent for longer, receive more proactive and preventative support, and stay connected to their community, family, friends, and professionals. This approach aims to enhance outcomes and promote independence while ensuring resources are targeted where they are most needed, enabling a less intrusive and more dignified model of support. Overall, the service seeks to prevent, reduce, or delay the need for more intensive statutory services by improving wellbeing, identifying risks earlier, and providing a lower cost alternative to traditional care pathways. ### Planning Information As part of its ongoing work to improve the quality of life, health and wellbeing of residents, Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) is reviewing the current approach, effectiveness, and future potential of Care Technology (TEC) as a core tool within Adult Care. Lincolnshire County Council is currently exploring new and innovative ways to collaborate with providers in shaping the future of Enhanced Technology Enable Care (TEC) across the county.
