Residents at a Scarborough care home are among the first in the country to have their homes fitted with a suite of smart technology designed to make independent living easier, thanks to a trial from BT and one of the country’s biggest housing associations.
A pilot scheme launched by BT and Home Group, has seen the apartments of 12 residents at Scarborough’s Webb Ellis Court site, equipped with a range of smart sensors providing data on activities to provide improved safety support.
