Our recent evaluation for Nottingham City NHS Clinical Commissioning Group on telecare and telehealth services showed that:

• There is a strong agreement among service users that the equipment is easy to use, makes users feel safer in their homes, and would be recommended to friends and family.
• Main motivations to using this technology were to prevent problems or accidents and to relieve the care burden from others
• There are high levels of satisfaction with the way equipment had been installed and maintained, as well as the way in which people had been shown how to use it.
• The support that the technology provided helped contribute to a reduction in health and social care spend of £333 per service user.
