Reading Borough Council Technology Enabled Care (TEC) Team

Think-TEC

Technology Enabled Care (TEC) also known as Assistive Technology is a range of devices or systems that can be used in a variety of ways, and for a variety of purposes.

It can be as simple as a pendant alarm system connected to a call centre a daily reminder to take medication or as complex as sensors and apps that send an alert if someone is unwell or not following their usual routine.

There are TEC devices that can assist people with memory problems or other cognitive difficulties, or aid someone with mobility or physical difficulties. TEC can support people to carry out everyday tasks and activities, enhance their safety, support social participation, and monitor progress.
