14 © 2010 Tunstall Healthcare Group Ltd. North Yorkshire’s unique mainstreamed telecare approach EVALUATION In September 2008, an analysis of the service was carried out In every case, all 131, the care manager responsible was asked what package of care they would have commissioned had they not had access to the ‘telecare enhanced package of care’ now available to them These “traditional” care packages were priced up accordingly, giving the following results…

18 © 2010 Tunstall Healthcare Group Ltd. Virtual Extra Care

19 © 2010 Tunstall Healthcare Group Ltd. What is Virtual Extra Care? We are living in an ageing population and people want to stay living independently in their own homes We must therefore deliver care to people how they want, in the way they want, in the place where they want to be… Virtual extra care is one way of achieving this….

20 © 2010 Tunstall Healthcare Group Ltd. As you will be looking at the service delivery later lets look at some of the emerging technology

21 © 2010 Tunstall Healthcare Group Ltd. VirtEx – What is this? VIRTEx is a research project & Partnership between Tunstall Healthcare, Fold TeleCare, Housing 21, DigiTV and University of Sheffield Virtex is made possible by the Funding from the Government’s Technology Strategy Board as part of the Assisted Living Innovation Platform (ALIP) This project has been set up to address the challenges created by an ageing population and the growing number of people with long-term conditions

22 © 2010 Tunstall Healthcare Group Ltd. Project objectives People Help preserve social inclusion Promote self-care, healthier lifestyle and independent living by encouraging change in behaviour Relieve carer stress Care Delivery Build a virtual community of connected carers and care-recipients Help deliver flexible, community-based care Build on current best practice technology and services in Telecare and Telehealth Support assessment through in-context information provision Technology – applications Data-intensive services using higher-bandwidth infrastructure Care monitoring systems extended to include new devices around the home Combinations of remote connectivity and care services, hence Virtual Extra Care (VirtEx).

23 © 2010 Tunstall Healthcare Group Ltd. The context Extra Care is a popular form of supported housing with care available 24 hours a day but focusing on social wellbeing and the quality of life VirtEx aims to combine these twin benefits for people living alone in the community –Older people spend 9 years living with long term illnesses compared to 6 years in 1981 –0.5 million older people leave their homes only once a week –300,000 are housebound –2.6 million pensioners have signs of depression Isolation and loneliness is the biggest challenge for our ageing society

24 © 2010 Tunstall Healthcare Group Ltd. Technology can isolate or include older people To date, experience for older people has mainly been to exclude them The aim with this project is to change that feeling amongst older people so they feel included
