A demonstration site for an online telecare portal has been built in response to findings from a JIP survey that shows information on council websites about telecare and assistive technology can be improved.
The portal will be a one stop site for information about assistive technology products and services; their suitability, how they work and where to buy them. Contents will be for the public as well as practitioners, and will allow people to rate or review products. Customers may also be able to buy directly on line.
Next stage of development involves identifying the type and range of products councils want to promote, plus linking the site to suppliers and retailers, and price information across the region.
The portal will be launched at a Cross Midlands by March 2011.
