A key area of innovation is enabling inclusive and accessible housing and garden design that promotes independence. The innovative use of digital technologies across housing with care and support includes innovations in assistive technology, artificial intelligence, self-care apps, wellbeing calls, integrated records of people who draw on support, and wearables.
