Co-operation

A range of people and organisations can benefit from the results of Netcarity by helping ensure its outcomes are relevant, accessible and offer real solutions to existing problems. These include:

• Older users – A successful Netcarity system needs to be developed in conjunction with potential users. By participating in trials, older people can shape the way their generation use and benefit from future technology.

• Care workers – Advice from these professionals will ensure the final system reflects their requirements, supports their existing role and enhances their ability to work with older people.

• Other researchers – Netcarity welcomes contributions from researchers in areas of science, technology and engineering whose work can support the development of a successful Netcarity system.

• Companies capable of integrating Netcarity into people’s homes – Designing a new infrastructure for homes requires guidance from specialists in construction, architecture and technology installation.
